Thank God this movie exists. It shows you why George hand M Cohan was such a hit for decades on Broadway. Cohan was 55 years old when he made this movie, but he shows the dance moves that Jimmy Cagney later copied for "Yankee Doodle dandy".
The portrayal of a mock convention is great, with groups of cowboys, miners, and other assorted types chanting political slogans in unison.
The confab that opens the film between four dead presidents is both bizarre and priceless.
Claudette Colbert plays a hip lady who manages to get the right person kidnapped and deported to Siberia at the end of the movie.
The movie becomes boring only when Cohan is playing a boring but ambitious businessmen . When Cohan goes dead, the movie goes dead.
