I have never heard of it.
Sounds interesting!
Happy Wednesday!

Wow, I had noooo idea that's where that line came from!
I need to add it to my list too. There's a lot of older movies I haven't seen.
Cagney was so great in the role. The scene at the end when he dances down the stairs is one of my all-time favorites. This film holds my record for the most times viewed in one week: 21
Yes... you must see it... a classic...
I always thought the last part of that line was "And as for me, that goes without saying..."
That's how I recall it anyway... From seeing it ten or more years ago...
well I guess I better get in line and add this one to my must see list;)
never heard of it either. I heard of the phrase before. Never seen the movie.
But you know a boy's besr freind is always his mother.

I've never seen it.
I do remember seeing the film! I can't tell you when!
In this movie Cagney does this stiff legged dance across a stage where he almost walks up each side of the proscenium that I have never seen anyone else duplicate.
Never seen it either...but know the tune of course.
Strangely no, I don't think I've seen it either.
We all know the song though don't we?

I've never seen Yankee Doodle Dandy. Do I HAVE to watch it?
One of my favorite movie lines? In Auntie Mame when brunette Mame and blonde Vera are discussing how Mame should wear her hair.
Mame makes a comment about how she doesn't have time to change her hairstyle. Then Vera says, "If you kept your hair natural like I do..."
Then Mame interrupts her with, "If I kept my hair natural like you do, I'd be bald!"
The original Oscar speech--but short and simple!
Those of you who have never seen this film need to hang up your three D glasses and get Hep.
