Description
Cast: Bob Hope, Milly Vitale, James Cagney
This fun and nostalgic show biz bio shows how vaudeville star Eddie Foy (Hope) transforms from a carefree song-and-dance man into the devoted—if still hapless—father of seven spirited performers. The scrappy charm of old vaudeville is evoked by the sets, costume, and cast, including Cagney, reprising his Oscar-winning Yankee Doodle Dandy performance as George M. Cohan.
