- QuizJames Cagney won an Oscar for playing Broadway producer George M. Cohan in Ribalta di gloria (1942). He agreed to play Cohan again in this film on condition that he would not be paid for the role. He did the role as a tribute to Eddie Foy, who had generously provided occasional meals for struggling young actors, including Cagney, in 1920s New York.

Written by William Jerome, Eddie Foy and Joseph J. Lilley
Sung and Danced by Bob Hope and The Seven Little Foys
The biography details the life of song and dance man Eddie Foy. Hope has the usual right wit and sarcastic blend to produce a wonderful performance. His dancing is exactly the right step as well.
He meets and marries a ballerina played by Millie Vitale. The children start coming real fast. Each time, Vitale's sister, a tough-looking strong woman named Clara, announces: "We're pregnant!"
7 little Foys enter the world. Eddie is too busy in his show business career and is rarely home. Go know that Vitale's cough is more serious than a cold. One night he arrives home to the news that his beloved wife had died during the day. Stricken with disbelief and sadness, Eddie vows to keep the family together and engages the children to appear in his act.
Meanwhile, Aunt Clara schemes to have Eddie declared unsuitable so that she can gain control of the children.
A fine musical and dance sequence with James Cagney reprising his role of George M. Cowan is shown in this delightful film.
