This was and still is my favorite all time movie. After just seeing a rare clip of the real Cohan dancing and acting I can see how close Cagney came to personifying him. Ain’t nothin like the real thing but Cagney gave him a run for his money!!!

Not bad.
It would be better if he’d smash a grapefruit in the face of one of those chicks with the umbrella.

Drove down George M. Cohan Boulevard in Providence today as it is the city of his birth. The song is actually “Yankee Doodle Boy” and is based on the real life Tod Sloan. Congress awarded Cohan a medal for “Over There” which was the unofficial anthem of the Great War or WWI as we started to number them.

Great stuff.

Yankee Doodle went to town riding on a rocket. Stuck his finger up his ass, and found a piece of chocolate!!

I am a serious fan of Cagney and he is missed greatly..One of the true greats in my book and what a performance in the movie ‘One,Two,Three’..Cagney at his best!!

Look up George M Cohan on You-Tube. There is a few clips of him from “The Phantom President” Cohan’ only movie

weikko79 December 26, 2008 at 8:17 pm

Have you heard the real George M. Cohan? If so, where?

One of the all-time BEST numbers from any movie musical! I never tire of watching this. James Cagney is magnificent and more than deserved the Oscar he won for this film.

This is one of the best scenes ever filmed in musical comedy. Cagney’s body language is superb. Note he is very “street-wise” New York circa 1930’s, not smooth and “New York society/Hollywood” like Astaire and (later) Gene Kelly.

Count the cuts in the “Yankee Doodle” sequence (when Cagney is dancing). I counted four. This means that all the performers had to be on perfect timing, not a second too fast or slow—or everyone in the shot would have to do the seqment from the previous cut.
