A dandy original

Starring screen legend James Cagney, Yankee Doodle Dandy is a 1942 musical film that regales the jaunty life of George Cohan, more colorfully known as "The Man Who Owns Broadway." Though I haven't seen the movie yet, I was ecstatic when Matt surprised me with this original print as I've always coveted an authentic film poster. He scored it at an auction in Armagh, PA, for a staggering $5 and later had it laminated and framed, thereby protecting its fragile texture. I love the faded blue color, lively type and collage of jovial movie scenes. Now I must see the movie to experience the full dandy effect of this classic!
