 Curious George   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)

Michael Curtiz's 1942 musical biography of Cohan -- the vaudevillian turned actor-playwright-songwriter who wrote 21 Broadway musicals between 1901 and 1928 and starred in nine of them -- is sentimental and heavily fictionalized, and Jimmy Cagney, whose performance won him an Oscar, is nothing at all like the real Cohan.
Michael Stewart and John and Francine Pascal, the book writers, even reproduce the identical section of Little Johnny Jones, the show that put Cohan on the map in 1904 -- and considering that no one who's ever seen Yankee Doodle Dandy is likely to have forgotten it, that's asking for trouble.
