James Cagney won an Oscar for playing Broadway producer George M. Cohan in A Canção da Vitória (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.
