U must be pproud...I am James Cagney's Cousin...I wish...jk

[@Loveoldies50]

What a wonderfully talented man he was. James Cagney was the right guy to portray him! I was too young to know George M. But I feel I know him after watching Yankee Doddle Dandy. His music will live on long after all of us are gone.

[@phillipruland4886]

Astonishing.

[@donhonaker3594]

Was this a recreation? Sound movies weren't invented until about 1929.

[@ryankloiber5025]

Yes. This was an episode of "Omnibus" which aired in 1959.

[@Gravelgratious]

The musical was written in 1906.

[@SarahOstrin1]

TItle is deceptive. it should state 1959.

[@johnsweeney5946]

People seem to think this is George. Sorry.

[@mrs.g.9816]

This is the way musicals ought to be. Andrew Lloyd Webber? Fuggedaboudit!
