YANKEE DOODLE DANDY

The life of the renowned musical composer, playwright, actor, dancer, and singer George M. Cohan.
Despite failing health, the real George M. Cohan acted briefly as a consultant on the film. He lived long enough to see the finished result and approved wholeheartedly of James Cagney’s depiction of himself.
In the film, George M. Cohan’s sister, Josie, is played by James Cagney’s real sister, Jeanne Cagney. James Cagney was 20 years older than Jeanne. (In the film, Josie Cohan is presented as George’s younger sister. In reality, she was his older sister.)
James Cagney became the first actor to win the Best Actor Academy Award for a musical performance.
This marks the first time a living U.S. President was depicted in a sound film.
