Yankee Doodle Dandy
Edited by Patrick McGilligan
Tino Balio, Series Editor

Wisconsin/Warner Bros screenplay series


The 1942 smash musical hit Yankee Doodle Dandy has long remained a favorite among audiences and film buffs. Ostensibly the story of "Mr. Broadway"—George M. Cohan—the movie evolved in its making into one of Warners' trademark "biopics" and a showcase for the singing and dancing talents of James Cagney.

This book includes the complete screenplay.
