Trivia
James Cagney won an Oscar for playing Broadway producer George M. Cohan in Yankee Doodle Dandy (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.

Quotes
Eddie Foy: Father, I'm Eddie Foy, did my family get here yet? You know. The seven kids.
Episcopal Minister: Mr. Foy, You're Catholic aren't you?
Eddie Foy: Oh sure.
Episcopal Minister: You're very welcome, but this is the Episcopal Church.
Eddie Foy: Oh. I'm kind of a stranger in town, where is the Catholic Church?
Episcopal Minister: We're not supposed to give out that kind of information... but I believe it's around the corner.
Eddie Foy: Oh. Thanks.
