I was amazed when I saw how good Hope was. He always played down his athleticism.
Brilliant routine by two of my favorite actors of all time. I heard Cagney did this on two conditions: 1) It wasn't announced and no one mentioned it in the reviews and 2) He wasn't paid anything for it, he did it as a favor, because Eddie Foy took him in as a child performer. True Class
Que hermoso recuerdo!!humor, calidad...se nota q lo disfrutaban y querían compartilo c los demás..mi gratitud eterna p estos genios ...
PURE GREATNESS THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO SAY !!
I love that this is 2 vaudeville era performers portraying 2 vaudeville performers. Outstanding.
My father and his brother saw a Bob Hope USO show in California during WWII before shipping out. I met Bob Hope when he was the headliner at a hospital fundraiser in our town. Hope was total talent.
What's notable about the old time performers was how versatile they were. They could dance, sing and do either comedy or drama like Cagney. It was the stiff competition of vaudeville, burlesque and the '' legitimate '''theatre that forced you to be multi-talented and they brought all that experience with them to their Hollywood films.
yeah, way different to today. But I guess Hollywood and the whole film industry starting away from all that in the '50s and by the '70s the transformation was complete. I used to hate watching films like these with my mom, who loved them. Now when I see them, it's like beholding a piece of art. Maybe I'm maturing? haaha
This era of actors were so versatile, they could do the lot!
Damn they were fantastic together
I've seen myshare of hoofers, Daily, O 'Conner, Astaire, and Kelly. But these guys were legends in their own right.I could watch this duo over and over, vaudeville at its finest!
Check out the Nicholas Brothers...
@@philiphalpenny9761 True.
Best dance duo routine on film.
Buddy Ebsen and Shirley Temple were pretty good, too.
Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire. Eleanor Powell and Fred Astaire. There are others.
Ever-this is wonderful-masters-Hope surprised me
@@Gablesman888 Stan & Ollie's soft shoe shuffle in Way Out West always cheers the soul...
Hope was no slouch as a hoofer, but Cagney may have been the greatest all-round entertainer in history. No, I'll say he is the greatest.
My vote goes to Sammy Davis Jr.; Singing, Acting, Dancing, Musicianship, Comedy, you name it, Sammy could do it all.
James Cagney personally chose Michael J Fox to portray him in a movie about his life if ever one was made. But no one I know says that they remember this, sadly.😞
My top goes to Bobby Darin. Cagney a giant and an original but not as multi-faceted as Darin or Davis. I choose Bobby over Sammy in a very tight race. I love both as singers, give Sammy the edge as a dancer. I go with Bobby as a musician because he wrote and composed and I feel was stronger on his instruments and integrated them more into his performances. Sammy only lived to 64 but still had very full career. Bobby only 37 still had a lot in front of him.
True
@@CapSkip145 i do. Fox is wonderful but, can you imagine him playing dark scenes like Cagney in films like Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye or White Heat? Loved Fox's documentary on Cagney in 1992...
class ! something you don't get nowadays
Saw the musical Cagney last night. They recreated this dance scene. The show was incredible. The lead who played Cagney was a dead ringer. You really thought you were watching Cagney. The show is a must see.
Robert Creighton is amazing as Cagney. He's a really nice guy, too. Loves meeting the people who go to the play.
what a great clip-awesome-thanks.
On the biographic TV show, the presenter, Michael J. Fox, explained that James Cagney's legs were in a lot of pain when he did this bit. The man was the true package.
Cagney pulled a muscle in his leg hopping onto the table, and his knee was the size of a grapefruit when they were done.
Cagney also received no pay for this appearance. He did it as a favor to the Foy family, since they helped him and a lot of others when they were down on their luck. In exchange, he was given a silver horse trailer.
@@nancestef Grapefruit? Lucky Mae Clarke wasn't around on this film then!
@@nancestef Grapefruit? maybe karma for a certain scene with Mae Clarke 14 years earlier!
@@nancestef I bought the Seven Foys-and Yankee Doodle CD's after seeing this
This is in the days when Hollywood performers had real talent.
The sad thing is we will never see talent like this ever again. there were so many greats it is impossible to list them. James Cagney was so elegant and seemed to float. Bob was great also but not as good as James. There are no actors today that I will not watch. I have tried but they are so devoid of talent,. I ave decided that any movie made since 1980/1990 are rubbish.
made my day! two of my favorites.
thanks
My dad thought cagney was brilliant ....i do too...Bob had pretty amazing footwork too,
But Bob's real talent was humour and gags and repartee.
I love this piece, but my favorite 10 secs in film is Jimmy Cagney on the staircase in the White House.
They don't make 'em like that anymore, that's for sure. 😅
Bib Hope is ny favorite performer if all time!
Had the privilege of meeting Bob Hope at a fundraiser in 1978. My dad saw Hope and Crosby perform for troops on the war front in World War II.
Thanks Jim, always loved that dance routine by Bob and Gagney. Two actors who were more noted for other abilities. btw What was that music played at the end of the clip?
James Cagney dances on air!
Joel Gray is pretty stunning too.
Hope was tapping but Cagney was gliding.
This recreation of an actual event with Eddie Foy from the movie "The seven little foys" shows one thing to a professional dance man like myself. Cagney was dancing with ease, after many years of practice, it was like second nature to him, but (as much as I love Bob Hope) Hope's dancing seemed strained, almost an effort to do the same steps as Jimmy was doing. Cagney is much lighter on his feet, and seems to really enjoy the routine, better than Bob!
Hope is embarrassing in this clip...
@both Philip Halpenny & Treknician. While it's true Cagney is the better dancer, I think you're over-stating your points. As Trek points out, this is from a bio-pic of Eddie Foy Sr w/Hope playing Foy. As such, he is dancing in the Foy style. What you see as Hope "straining" is, I believe, rather Hope keeping in character, dancing with Foy's more herky-jerky method. By the same token, Cagney is dancing in that nearly trade-marked stiff-legged style of George M. Cohan (whom he is portraying in this clip) which he had earlier perfected for Yankee Doodle Dandy. Again, we all agree that Cagney was the better dancer, although most of our generation never knew Hope could dance at all. I do not agree in the slightest with Philip's statement that Hope is "embarrassing" here. To the contrary, he demonstrates that he is far more talented than our generation ever knew -- and, to say the least, more talented than any of the so-called "entertainers" on the scene today
Cagney, on the set of Ragtime, mentioned to Biographer Richard Schickel, that he would have loved to have done more dancing on screen. In truth, though, his marvelously choreagraphed movements were always manifest, in his dramas and comedies also. As with Buster Keaton, James Cagney is among the most irreplaceable of stars...
Man, you said a mouthful there. Outside of Judy Garland, there is no one I would rather watch -- whether in drama, comedy or musical forms -- than Jimmy Cagney. His subdued portrayal of Halsey in the Gallant Hours has always been very moving to me
No-one gave more heart & soul than Judy in A Star Is Born...
So we get the same invisible people who leave the thumbs down and are so gutless that they cant explain themselves.
Who cares? I'm here for the content; I couldn't care less who upvotes or downvotes, because with all the ignorant and spastic yahoos who chronically flood youtube comment sections with wildly arbitrary and shamelessly baseless opinions, it just really doesn't matter.
Cagney was the best, and Hope was one of the greats as well... and that's all there is to care about.
@@1SqueakyWheel well,if you dont mind I'll thumbs up that comment.
@@Elvis-guy1973 I don't mind at all, Jon!
I guess I get kinda sour at the whole "circulation by popularity" system that youtube uses, like any other social media setup. And then the ignoramouses do a thoughtless drive-by thumbing up and down on various things that pretty well negate actual votes which are thoughtful.
Just makes me wanna ignore the whole rating thing and just enjoy the content itself.
Wasn't barking at ya! :-)
@@1SqueakyWheel I hadent really thought about it like that, but I suppose the thumb system is just away for youtube to get people to interact with their product, the comment sections are the worst this is really where you see what people are made of, they try to "educate" you and they are usually by their tone no older than t shirts that I've got in my cupboard, that can be annoying and some people can just be as thick as pig shit, but it takes all kinds to make a world I suppose.
@@Elvis-guy1973 agreed!
Hope was 50 or so at the time.
Two hoofers that not only know how to entertain but do so with style
and-class-sorely lacking today
@@eepanusstar5940 And you could tell their banter was rooted in genuine respect and friendship.
@@5610winston True-both great entertainers-and both very patriotic-love this clip-Hope dances almost as good as Cagney!
James Carney travailler chez la Warner il était le meilleur. Où
I can't believe you're using this clip to advertise your product. It's disrespectful to these two great entertainers!
Moonwalk at 1:37?
Hope doesn't look as light on his feet as Cagney. Cagney moves like a cat. Hope reminds me of half of a pantomime horse.
Winston Elston Spot on ...
Cagney's movements are light and breezy while Hope's dancing appears strained, forced and uncomfortable. The two men are not on a par, as dancers. The moment that Hope did the hideous "running in place" move was an assault on the eyes.
Agreed. Compare Hope's jack-ass performance here with comics Laurel & Hardy's serene soft-shoe routine outside the saloon, in Way Out West.
