Yankee Doodle Dandy 1942 Trailer

George Cohan was one of the IRS's first victims.

This is one of those movies I could watch over and over and NEVER get sick of it! A true classic.

Its a classic - unlikely ever to be matched in these disturbing times. I must get it on DVD now.

Yes! Absolutely. And we played it on the Big Screen at the Stanford Theatre here in California on July 4th!!

The best trailer I've ever seen! Completely accurate to the movie itself, as few trailers were. Most spend their time, and hyperbole, praising the film, instead of showing clips from the movie itself! This is a wonderful, outstanding musical film, almost in a class by itself. Don't ever miss a chance to see it on the big screen! **** Leonard Maltin rating. Oscar for Cagney. Stirring, emotional music rarely found in a motion picutre. It doesn't get any better than this.

max steiner, hugo friedhoffer, ray heindorf , david buttolph and of course erich wolfgang korngold were great americans who made jack warner and his stars shine on eternally.

Boxingglove love wrote: The Warner Brothers orchestra kicked butt! Indeed it did but let's not forget the brilliant Ray Heindorf who arranged the numbers.

1a classic musical

We'll be over! We're coming over! And we won't come back till its over, over there!

My favorite verse is at the end of the movie when Cagney plays Cohan playing FDR in "I'd Rather Be Right":

I can't forget how Lafayette
Helped give us our first chance
To win our fight for liberty
And now they've taken France
We'll take it back from Hitler
And put ants in his "Japants"

And that's FOR the record!!

For 18 years, I lived 1-1/2 miles from where Lafayette joined Washington and the Continental Army near present-day Warminster, PA.
