James Cagney proved he was more than a movie tough-guy in his show-stopping portrayal of extraordinary Irish-American composer/performer George M. Cohan. Featuring Cohan standards such as “You’re a Grand Old Flag,” “Over There,” and the title song, Cagney’s tour de force performance delighted wartime filmgoers and critics alike, and earned the actor his only Oscar®. Directed by Michael Curtiz; co-starring Walter Huston and Joan Leslie.
