Hollywood does some wonderful things, but by the same token, I've always had the feeling that it sometimes captures somebody with talent just for the sake of owning them.

New From Warner Archive: Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) on Blu-ray
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Oct 27, 2014
When I settled in to watch the new Warner Archive Blu-ray of Yankee Doodle Dandy, I was expecting good, corny fun. Lively dance numbers, old-fashioned tunes--sweet-natured stuff.
