| | Yankee Doodle Dandy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Yankee Doodle Dandy is a 1942 biographical film about George M. Cohan, starring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, Walter Huston, Richard Whorf, Irene Manning, George Tobias, Rosemary DeCamp and Jeanne Cagney. |
 | | The title song (properly titled "The Yankee Doodle Boy") was Cohan's trademark piece, a patriotic pastiche drawing from the lyrics and melody of the old Revolutionary War number, Yankee Doodle. |
 | | A popular myth about this movie, or at least a stretching of the truth, was that it was written in response to accusations that James Cagney was a communist. |
