Español La biografía del bailarín de vodevil George M. Cohan, creador del himno norteamericano ”Over There”, sirvió de base para este musical donde Cagney pudo demostrar sus grandes dotes para el baile. La obra, aunque se trata de una comedia, tiene un importante trasfondo de propaganda bélica ya que está realizada en plena Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Italiano Nato sul palcoscenico, George Cohan (Cagney) vi trascorre la vita formando con i genitori e la sorella un applaudito quartetto. Passato dalla provincia a Broadway, raggiunge un'immensa celebrità componendo, nel 1917, la canzone "Over There", che diventa l'inno ufficiale delle truppe e che fa di lui quasi un eroe nazionale. Con la smobilitazione il successo non cala e Cohan allestisce spettacoli sempre più ricchi ed eleganti.
Português George M. Cohan (James Cagney) conta sua vida em flashback, em um tom modesto, a Franklin Roosevelt (Jack Young). Ele foi um lendário artista da Broadway que viveu a época de ouro do teatro musical nos Estados Unidos, história que é contada através de números de dança e canções. Cohan passou mais de 55 anos nos palcos, estrelou mais de 30 peças e podia dizer por aí que já havia cantado e dançado mais de 500 canções. Por isso tudo, sua história pessoal se confunde com a história americana.

עִבְרִית העלילה עוקבת אחר תולדות חייו של קוהאן באופן מדויק למדי, אך תוך עיבוד אמנותי וללא מעקב רצוף אחר הרצף הכרונולוגי. בפרט, החילו יוצרי הסרט על עצמם את קוד המוסר של הוליווד באופן מחמיר והשמיטו את העובדה שקוהאן (הקתולי) התגרש והתחתן שנית. כפי שקוהאן פעל במוצהר על מנת לרומם את מורל האומה במהלך מלחמת העולם הראשונה, כך הופק הסרט במוצהר על מנת לרומם את המורל בעת מלחמת העולם השנייה, ימים ספורים לאחר התחלת העבודה על הסרט אירעה המתקפה על סרט פטריוטי מאד על דמות פטריוטית מאד, כיוון שהתהלכו שמועות כביכול שהיו לו קשרים עם המפלגה הקומוניסטית של ארצות הברית והוא חשש שיוקע כקומוניסט. הדבר לא עולה בקנה אחד עם המציאות בה המקרתיזם, רדיפת אמנים על רקע פוליטי, החל רק כשמונה שנים לאחר השלמת הסרט.

Magyar Ellenállhatatlan zenés portré George M. Cohan énekes és táncos életéről és koráról. James Cagney mindig azt szerette volna, hogy nemcsak a tánca miatt, hanem a kemény-fiú szerepeiért is emlékezzenek rá és ebben az élvezetes musicalben - mely George M. Cohan énekes-táncos életéről szól - be is bizonyította ezt. Cagney személyes kedvenc alakítása ez.
Pусский Биографический мюзикл, рассказывающий о жизни прославленного бродвейского актера, певца и танцора Джорджа М. Коэна, автора патриотических американских песен. Картина построена как цепь воспоминаний самого постаревшего Коэна о собственной жизни, начиная со дня рождения (4 июля 1878 года) до вручения награды из рук президента США за вклад в искусство. Это история жизни человека, который сам продюсировал, писал и играл в своих музыкальных шоу. Сцены детских выступлений Джорджа, историю его сотрудничества с писателем и продюсером Сэмом Хэррисом, реконструкцию фрагментов Бродвейских представлений Коэна. Это ему как теоретику американского мюзикла принадлежит знаменитое определение жанра, — «Ритм, ритм и еще раз ритм!».
