Yankee Doodle Home

About This Movie

Yankee Doodle Home is one of those quirky little gems from the late 30s that just makes you chuckle. The film follows the escapades of Nick and Vince, a duo of struggling songwriters who find themselves in a rather unusual predicament. The atmosphere is light and breezy, typical of the era, and the pacing keeps things moving without dragging. Vince's clever disguise adds a nice layer of humor, as he listens to songs that end up being his own creations. The musical numbers, though not groundbreaking, are charming enough to evoke that delightful nostalgia. It’s a snapshot of the industry back then, with a playful take on creativity and the hustle of showbiz.

Yankee Doodle Home is a bit of a rarity, with limited prints floating around, mostly in the hands of dedicated collectors. It's one of those films that doesn't often show up at screenings or in discussions, which adds to its charm. The scarcity of good quality copies makes it a treasure for those who appreciate the lighter side of 1930s cinema. Collectors seem to gravitate toward its unique premise and the whimsical portrayal of the music industry during that period.
