 HEY, WHERE'S THE WIDESCREEN IMAGE? August 13, 2008
Really depressing to pop this baby into the DVD player and the first thing you see is the Paramount logo and the words "A Paramount Release in VistaVision" and the image is CROPPED! Great color, nice crisp images, but PAN AND SCAN. How I'd love to see that brilliant table top soft shoe routine between Hope and Cagney in all its 1.85:1 glory! Hopefully TCM will show it widescreen and I can record it.

I have never received this order and I placed it on December 10, 2007 hoping to receive for Christmas gifts. I have reached out to the vendor twice and have never received the courtesy of a reply and yet my credit card was charged for this item. Of course, I am now hesitant of ordering through Amazon again.

I'm a big fan of Bob Hope but I'm a bigger fan of James Cagney and it was with with Cagney in mind that I bought this VHS copy of "The Seven Little Foys". The movie itself is rather predictable but Bob Hope helps move it along as he delivers wisecracks as only he can.
I was surprized that the movie began in 1898 because I knew that Eddie Foy had what must have been an interesting career before that. In a biography I had read of Wyatt Earp, I was surprized to discover that Eddie Foy was an entertainer in the Dodge City of Earp's era. Couldn't there have been 5-10 minutes on what that part of Foy's life must have been like?
I would have rated this movie "3 Stars" but for the scene that I had been waiting for. James Cagney won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as George M. Cohan in "Yankee Doodle Dandy"; one of my favorite movies. I would have thought that the Cagney of ganster movie fame would have been miscast in "YDD" but he was quite a hoofer then as well as his encore preformance in "The Seven Little Foys". What I really appreciated, along with the top-notch bantering between Hope and Cagney, was that the duo was given three songs to strut their stuff. Both Hope and Cagney are very adept at tap dancing as well as "the old soft shoe". Cagney's stiff-legged style is worth the price of admission to (or purchase of) any movie he dances in and I got more than my money's worth in this one. The scene with Hope and Cagney is one of the great lesser-known moments in American cinema.

A CLASSIC! September 2, 2006
A great old movie, classic Hope. Worth having for the dance sequence with James Cagney alone.
