The Seven Little Foys is a Technicolor in VistaVision 1955 biographical musical comedy-drama film directed by Melville Shavelson starring Bob Hope as Eddie Foy. The story of Eddie Foy Sr. and the Seven Little Foys inspired a TV version in 1964 and a stage musical version, which premiered in 2007.
James Cagney plays George M. Cohan, recreating the role he played in Yankee Doodle Dandy. His dance duet with Hope as Foy is considered one of the film's best scenes.
