True dancing magic
Everytime I see this movie, I am amazed by Cagney's energy and strength as a dancer, but mostly by his unique style. He makes it look easy without ever seeming to lose his breath. I wonder how much of his own choreography went into this movie. From what I've read, Cohan made it look easy as well, and I would have loved to have seen him on stage. I know this movie played with the facts quite a bit, but I still admire the showmanship and contributions that Cohan made, as well as that which Cagney made in portraying this role.
