It's the perfect day to revisit James Cagney as George M. Cohan, in YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (Warner Bros., 1942). Cagney won Best Actor, and Michael Curtiz directed. The songs of Cohan make every American stand proud. His song goes, "I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, born on the Fourth of July." Cohan was actually born on July 3rd, but that's plenty close enough.
If we're talking close enough...P.T.Barnum was born on July 5 and often told people he withheld his own birth knowing the celebration of his and the nation's birthday would just be too much for the nation.
