A big, old-fashioned rousing biopic of patriotic showman George M. Cohan, played with energy and gusto by Jimmy Cagney in his only Oscar-winning performance.

James Cagney played George M. Cohan with great vigor and won his only Oscar for that brilliant performance.

Maybe the best-case scenario for what happens when a film biopic does everything right.

You will find as warm and delightful a musical picture as has hit the screen in years, a corking good entertainment and as affectionate, if not as accurate, a film biography as has ever -- yes, ever -- been made.

Flag waving, toe tapping, GREAT James Cagney performance as Broadway's George M. Cohan.

The greatness of the film resides entirely in the Cagney performance.

It delivers its red-white-and-blue patriotism to you by the exuberant bushel, but this grand old film reminds us that there was a time when patriotism was more heartfelt than bullying and jingoistic.

...Cagney's picture through and through. He imbues every scene with the kind of electricity only a handful of screen stars have ever managed.

Raucous, vulgar, over long.
