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

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

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.

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

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.

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.
