James Cagney -- Old Man Scene [Yankee Doodle Dandy]

James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy as an old man being a joker.

[@russellcraddock3529]

James Cagney was a true professional actor and Singer. Could could do anything singing dancing playing a heavy as a gangster or simple father business man all done to perfection! Not a actor or stage performer could even comes close to what Mr Cagney had done never will be ever again RIP SIR!

[@CherylSimser]

He also played guitar, piano, he painted and farmed and even sailed a boat. What a man!

[@gordonowens7794]

When he stomps on the hair piece and says "got it" while pointing, never fails to make me laugh...so many great moments in this movie.

[@bertmustin]

One of the greatest acting performances of all tine.

[@sophiaraniuk2665]

In my opinion James Cagney is truly one of the greatest actors and showmen of all time .....God Bless him and all the wonderful entertainment he has given us ......

[@winner502]

you can say that again i miss him hollywierd sure is a sheet hole

[@ROFO79]

I am 43 but we grew up watching old movies like Abbott and Costello, Jerry Lewis, and Dean Martin, etc. My dad always love this movie.

[@marysquillacote7076]

I never get tired of watching this movie. I love it. James Cagney id a great jod and I love all the songs.

[@richardhill6125]

One of my favorite movies growing up as a kid back in the 50s/60s. Watched it every 4th of July and sang along with what I could!

[@TXscarlett75]

I watch this movie every year!! Cagney was one of the GREATEST ACTORS EVER. If you have a chance watch The Man of a Thousand Faces, James Cagney played Lon Chaney, Sr.

[@TheCarnivalguy]

Orson Welles stated James Cagney was maybe the greatest actor to ever appear before a camera.

[@dorismoore8452]

Indeed..I enjoy watching him dance❤❤❤one of the best

[@BlossomFlowerGirl]

Stamping on the wig saying, “Got it!” was worth the wait.

[@matthewobrien534]

There's such a witty and poignant, innocent aura to these scenes. Absolute Americana in its finest!!!! James Cagney was a tour de force in whatever role he played!!!

[@tootsie5052]

Ya gotta love Cagney!!

[@ellascott4497]

That was Mr. Cagney's finest. I agree he was great especially when he stomped the hair wig he had on and threw on the floor I am laughing so so hard.😎👍🎆👏 Thanks for this amazing upload ,it made my day.

[@dc1397]

She was the perfect actress as Mary. She was so sweet and pretty.

[@joep8787]

Lots of funny, throwaway lines "Being 18 is very wise." I bet the writers had a ball thinking up these gags.

[@liberte5847]

James Cagney allways YOUNG ever! Merci beaucoup from Paris France

[@dorismoore8452]

Damn!! I love watching him dance❤❤❤

[@pauld6967]

🙂 I had forgotten how much I enjoyed that part of the movie. Thank you for posting it.

[@Blacksheepishot]

This had to be the best movie ever, greatest actor ever, the best cast , and if it wasn't for the invention of that b&w movie camera this masterpiece would have been done on a live stage with no long lasting record of this oscar winning performance. thank you mr. Edison and Dixon....

[@alvexok5523]

Yes, this film is amazing. It's such a touching story, and with great musical numbers. Songs "I'm a Yankee doodle dandy" and "You're a grand old flag" are both songs that any American knows who hasn't spent their life under a rock, and we get to really see the details of their origin in this film from the old proud and dignified days of America. This film is great in many ways. Cagney had a knack for musicals too, he's great in "Footlight parade" also, with Joan Blondell and the wonderful Ruby Keeler. They really don't make em like they used to. So many greats from the old days: Cagney, Bogart, Jean Harlow, Greta Garbo, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, Esther Williams, Sinatra, Laurel and Hardy, Marx brothers, and still many more

[@joanmulhall5616]

James was the BEST.

[@dougreed2257]

Wow what a dancer, what a legend!!!

[@anneglines47]

He was a great actor.

[@laureencallahan6946]

[@carmenvallone1247]

CAGNEY EQUALS LEGEND ALL TIME GREAT! My all time favorite! They don't have legends like Mr.Cagney anymore! Yankee doodle dandy is my favorite Cageney film. I love watching him dance!

[@michaelsmythe4031]

[@deewesthill1213]

I actually don't think I've watched this particular scene in the movie since i first saw it at age 9, and i'm a month shy of 71 now! My how time flies! 😆

[@darkwood777]

Mary was young and innocent.

[@gr8maker]

No one better

[@USCGCoasttoast]

[@alvexok5523]

[@kaialoha]

[@jason60chev]

That girl didn;t want to roller skate....she wanted to do some knob slobbering!

[@tiffianytate7618]

Ahem don’t be a amateur lol

[@johnnysgramz6071]

Was enjoying the movie clip until i saw the mindless comment about Trump...he cares about the country. Best president ever

[@jeffreyjeziorski1480]
