Idly flipping through the cable channels the other night, I found myself lingering at the sweetly sentimental image of James Cagney proposing marriage to Joan Leslie in Yankee Doodle Dandy. McCabe reveals that Bill Cagney convinced his brother to accept the lead role in Yankee Doodle Dandy as "an antidote to his so-called overliberal reputation," but McCabe provides only anecdotal accounts of the actor's political views, which shifted abruptly rightward in the post-Roosevelt era. Yankee Doodle Dandy Academy Award[R] winner James Cagney puts on his dancing shoes again for this merry musical comedy packed with spirited starpower and lively tunes by Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn. |
