The sort-of-true life story of George M. Cohan won an Oscar for James Cagney. When it came out, Cohan said, "It was a good movie. Who was it about?" It was a real departure for Cagney who had been cast in one gangster part after another. However, Cagney was originally trained as a dancer and his talents are showcased here.
James Cagney gives another unforgettable performance, this time as real-life song and dance legend George M. Cohan with direction by Michael Curtiz. Cagney is a powerhouse, just exploding on stage and earning an Academy Award for Best Actor in the process. Joan Leslie and Walter Huston co-star and offer great support with their performances. This classic musical captured several Academy Awards in what was to become one of Warner Bros.' biggest hits of WWII.  
Starring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning, George Tobias, Rosemary DeCamp, and Jeanne Cagney. Directed by Michael Curtiz. An unrestored lobby card with good color and an overall very presentable appearance. It may have slight edge wear or some toning.
