itsnotmymind Day 22: a movie by your favorite director
I don't know if I have a favorite director, but I'm going to go with Michael Curtiz because I think he is underrated and he did so many great movies. Most notably Casablanca, but also the musical Yankee Doodle Dandy and the gangster film Angels With Dirty Faces. He didn't have a signature style, but he was good at what he did.
To actually answer the question: Yankee Doodle Dandy, a biopic about George M. Cohan, who wrote a number of patriotic songs that prior to watching the movie I would have assumed predated him (he was active in the early 1900s).
