The musical is prominently featured in the 1942 Cohan biopic ''[[Yankee Doodle Dandy]]'', in which it serves as a narrative bookend. [[James Cagney]], playing Cohan, after meeting FDR in the Oval Office, performs a joyous tap dance as he walks back down the stairs of the White House. In the film, we also see Cagney as Cohan performing "Off the Record" during the show's run. Because the film was made during World War II, the film also anachronistically added some morale-boosting lyrics at the end of the song.
