Greatest Musical
I saw this film on July 4 and enjoyed it immensely. It was a joy. I know that it was shmaltzy and corny but it revealed an America now long gone. My only disappointment was that it was filmed in black and white. How great it would have looked in color. I guess it was made during the war and color film was scarce and expensive. Cagney well deserved the Oscar. He not only could act but his singing and dancing was stunning. The songs were great. Every American should view this at least once. It's the most patriotic film ever made. I felt like waving a flag after. This is one of Hollywood's greatest films.
