Amazon.com essential video: James Cagney thrills in a rare (and limber) song-and-dance performance as composer-entertainer George M. Cohan. This nostalgic biography is told in flashbacks, covering Cohan's formative years becoming Broadway's brightest star and touching upon his loves, musicals, and artistic triumphs. Director Michael Curtiz (The Adventures of Robin Hood) offers Cagney ample opportunities to invent an utterly charming performance in what is practically a one-man show. If you've never seen Cagney as a hoofer, you're in for a treat: his dancing is as dynamic as anything else he's ever done on screen. --Tom Keogh

From Little Caesar to George M. Cohan. Winning an Academy Award for Best Actor, Cagney is wonderful. One of the best American movies ever made. Great for family viewing, including young children. And for young children, don't forget to let them see Errol Flynn in Robin Hood.

I purchased this movie for my husband, it is one of his favorites because of the music. He enjoyed it very much!
Rating: - A Genuine Classic!
Wow! What a classic movie this is. It's from a different era and probably seems too schmaltzy and contrived. Still, it is a terrific movie in its own terms.

Great movie, favourite James Cagney movie of all time! My only disappointment was that I thought it was in colour not black and white but still fantastic.

The movie was enjoyable to watch and got me to wondering again why James Cagney didn't make more musicals. He is fanastic in this movie. However, I especially enjoyed the added features, especially the newsreel. I did not realize that Mexico was an ally during World War II. Would recommed this to anyone who enjoys old movies and if a James Cagney fan in regard to his gangster movies, watch this to get a new perspective on a great star.
