I'd Rather Be Right
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd Rather Be Right is a 1937 Moss Hart and George Kaufman musical play about Franklin Roosevelt, with George M. Cohan, lyrics by Lorenz Hart, and music by Richard Rodgers. It is also a song from the play.
I'd Rather Be Right is prominently featured in the 1942 Cohan biopic Yankee Doodle Dandy, where it serves as a narrative bookend.
H. G. Wells wrote enthusiastically about the play, and Cohan's performance as Roosevelt, in an article "The Fall in America 1937", published in Collier's on 28 January 1938 and reprinted in his World Brain (1938).
