Yankee Doodle Dandy trailer

This timeless classic film centers on the life of composer/singer/dancer George M. Cohan. It begins from his early days as a child-star in his family's vaudeville show up to the time in which he received a medal from the president for his special contributions to the US. James Cagney at his best!
