YANKEE DOODLE DANDY
(Warner Bros.)
ANOTHER old-stager which an advertisement informs me was "claimed by the New Zealand critics as. the most brilliant’ . performance ever
screened in Wellington City." I have no desire to seem cantankerous, but since I was not consulted I must really ask them, in Sam Goldwyn’s words, to include me out. Yankee Doodle Dandy is an orthoox musical story of the flagwagging, local-boy-makes-good type which has such a sure-fire appeal, particularly to Americans. It is lavishly and tunefully produced, with James Cagney giving a sterling performance as George M. Cohan, the" composer and producer. But’ it is not that good.
