on June 9th, 2016 at 09:14
The film tells the story of legendary musical talent George M. Cohan, an Irish-American singer, dancer, actor, playwright and songwriter. One evening he is summoned to the White House for a private audience with President Roosevelt, in which he begins to recall his life story (the bulk of the movie is told in a series of flashbacks). We see Cohan's earliest beginnings, being born of the Fourth of July, performing on-stage with his family as part of "The Four Cohans" vaudeville act, his coming-of-age and eventual control of the group, his branching out into the creation and production of his own musicals with partner Sam Harris, the dissolution of "The Four Cohans", his slow slide into obscurity, and his glorious comeback....
