YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942)
Well, this review is for everything but the last 5 minutes of the movie. Will have to TRY AGAIN to watch this. :/ Will adapt the review if needed when I finally get to finish it. I was ready to see it last Thursday and didn't get to see but the first 5 minutes. I was determined to see it today, but suspect my mind may be more tired than it could appreciate the movie? Not thrilled to have a 2nd version of this not work. The only thing I can figure is it is so popular that our musical (?), democratic nation has worn out two copies.
Movie: "Yankee Doodle Dandy" (1942). Musical Biography of George M. Cohan. Dramatized concert of his music, mostly. Unless the ending changed that, which is possible.
Well, I finally got to see the ending of "Yankee Doodle Dandy". I know attitude can make a difference when watching the arts (not that that's a new idea to me). I liked the ending. In fact, it makes me want to watch the whole thing again. I don't have time to do that (especially with having to ask for the movie 3 times), but perhaps I'll remember it the next time I wonder what a good 4th of July movie would be good to watch. The movie also makes me want to read a biography or autobiography of George M. Cohan to see how much of it is true.
