If you loved Quadrophenia, try Yankee Doodle Dandy
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / Music territory. If that's the register that drew you to Quadrophenia, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Yankee Doodle Dandy is
The Broadway kid who wrote the anthem gets his own flashy biopic. A fast-talking song-and-dance man claims the stage for himself and America. James Cagney taps the Statue of Liberty into a finale.
