Movie review of The Seven Little Foys, starring Bob Hope as Eddie Foy, the star of vaudeville who has been absent from his children’s lives … until his wife dies, and he’s now forced to be a real ‘father’ in every sense of that word … and how Eddie and his children develop mutual love for each other, and how he struggles to work them into his act.   A wonderful film, very funny and very touching, often at the same time.
