From "Seven Little Foys" (1955), with Bob Hope as vaudevillian Eddie Foy, and Cagney reprising his role as George M. Cohan from "Yankee Doodle Dandy" a decade earlier.
In real life Cohan and Foy often performed on the same vaudeville bill and were good friends. In "Yankee Doodle Dandy" the real Eddie Foy appeared in a scene with Cagney. Foy had a very unfortunate extreme overbite which caused him to drool and uncontrollably spray people standing near him; there were references to that in "Seven Little Foys" but modern viewers might be completely baffled because Bob Hope had no such defect.
