Who starred in Yankee Doodle Dandy?
Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) is one of Hollywood's greatest, grandest and slickest musicals. The nostalgic, shamelessly-patriotic, entertaining film supported the war effort and also paid tribute, in its mostly fictional story, to both a popular Irish/American entertainer and to the grand American gentleman of the theatre, George M. Cohan The timeliness of its release, just after the attack on Pearl Harbor in late 1941, helped the 'propaganda machine' recruit military and civilian personnel into WWII with a rousing theme song written years earlier for WWI - Over There. A second song, You're a Grand Old Flag, contributed to morale-boosting, flag-waving patriotism and love of one's country. It was the first time a living US President (FDR in this case, played by Jack Young) had been portrayed in a motion picture. Starring cast: James Cagney - (George M. Cohan)Joan Leslie - (Mary Cohan)Walter Huston - (Jerry Cohan)Richard Whorf - (Sam Harris)Irene Manning - (Fay Templeton)Film description paraphrased from: www.filmsite.org
