WOW!! FORGOT THERE WAS A REAL HOLLYWOOD!!
Bravo !!! Those Guys were in tremendous shape to do that routine….Back when
Actors were multi-talented.
I didn’t know Cagney could dance, and holy moly, look at Bob go! 😁
what? no twerking?!?!
no … thank God! back in the day when men danced like men … ol’ Lesley could shake a leg w/ the best of ’em (which included Cagney)
you gotta admit, this 3 1/2 minute snippet is more entertaining than any Stupor Bowl half-time show ….. EVER!
I have seen that film a number of times but it has been years since I last saw it.
@MJA – Really???
He can walk down the stairs and TAP his way down…
Crazy shit, from Yankee Doodle Dandy…
Back then actors did it ALL. Especially the Vaudevillian ones…not like the crap we mostly have now.

Bob Hope was a national treasure. He did so much for our troops overseas. I recently came across some photos my brother took while attending Bob Hope’s 1973 Christmas Show in South Korea.
@systematically confused – I wanted to add that Eddie Foy is a New Rochelle, NY former resident and there is a VERY small park in his honor not to far from where we live…in which HE donated the land.

Turns out he is buried there at Holy Sepulcher and we will go pay honor to his name…
Thanks for that post.
We have devolved…
@Jim – …we certainly have.
But WE have to decide if the point of no return has come and gone??
Okay, so it’s LONG gone….got it!

Yep, today’s entertainment is a shit show. When they re-cycle Star Wars for the umpteenth time, we know they are desperate.
Movies, music, TV, novels are now mostly brain excrement from shit-for-brains leftists targeted to the ignorant to swallow obediently.
Cagney is obviously the better dancer but I had no idea Hope was that good.
Haven’t seen this great movie in years, but it just goes to show today’s Hollyweird has nothing even close.
Here’s a recent gag fest attempt at song and dance with Hollyweird’s top “stars”:
“The Prom”

Yep, Cagney was always a dance man. Hope knew he had to bring it. Still, both are legendary stars. I’ve been into old movies lately and “The Seven Little Foys” is one of my favorites.
