Very enjoyable. The dancing of Cagney is off the charts and his dialogue goes back and forth like a bullet as is like a trademark for him. The story itself however is boring. Obviously the film is a bit patriotic, what with the war going on and all. But the film had a lot more potential for drama. Somehow Mary just accepts that a song written for her is given to someone else and pledges her love on the spot. A bit far-fetched if you'd ask me. Stunning sets though and some beautiful camerawork.

James Cagney crowning glory away from the gangster world! A personal triumph and a grand musical! Snappy, uplifting and a pure celebration of the musical world of George M. Cohan. Popular songs even my 2-year-old know a century after they were originally written. Created in classic Hollywood style with everything upped a notch for a superbly spirited experience!

It's an excellent rainy, Sunday afternoon movie: it's silly, you don't have to invest a lot of attention to it, and it's a nice, feel good film.

The heavy-handed nationalist messaging is off-putting, but damn, the musical numbers are just so much fun that that can be mostly (but not wholly) forgiven. They're ebullient and energetic and so over-the-top and campy, that if I hadn't read about how much effort the makers had put into accurately reproducing the original Broadway staging, I would've sworn they were trying to be self-parodic. Cagney also gives an incredibly charismatic performance, and absolutely deserved his Oscar for this film

Best musical ever. Based on the story of singer/songwriter/showman George M. Cohan with many songs that are part of the fabric of America. James Cagney, song and dance man himself, is totally engaging in this film. You won't get tired of seeing this every Fourth of July.

Cagney's brilliant acting and dancing won him a fully deserved Oscar, but the rest of the movie struggles to live up to his stellar performance. The sickly sweet storytelling and excessive patriotism are expected given the film's historical context but prevent it from feeling at all genuine. Cohan's songs themselves are generally rather drab and repetitive, and hence the non-musical portions, which feature some surprisingly witty dialogue, tend to be a good deal more enjoyable.

There are some great song and dance numbers, but I feel like the plot sometimes suffers for it. It seems at times like the movie just wanted to string together a series of musical segments in whatever way possible, and sometimes those segments and the plot merely exist alongside each other instead of complementing each other in any meaningful way.

A largely fictionalized biopic about an entertainer that is adequately entertaining. Cagney has to carry this one on his shoulders, and does a decent job of it.

James Cagney delivers one of the greatest performances in any movie I've seen.He sings, dances and acts his way through this film effortlessly.The musical numbers where great and the story was well done.

This role is different than the usual ones James Cagney plays. Cagney is very good in the lead role, he is a joy to watch for the entire film. I would recommend this film if you are a fan of Cagney's or a fan of old musicals.

This fully realized example of the Classical Hollywood style is also a flawless piece of jingoism--if such a thing be possible. It works because it presents patriotism as a form of theater and theater as a form of patriotism, both admirable for the virtues of confidence, energy and sincerity--qualities perfectly embodied in the rich performance of James Cagney as George M. Cohan. (The fact that we were fighting Hitler at the time helps a little too.)
