* George's father trying to find a place to punish him, each one being shot down by his mother due to theater necessities such as dancing and singing. Finally, he settles for a good old-fashioned spanking of George over his knee, since it's the "one part without any talent".
** Just the fact that George's mother is alright with her husband physically "disciplining" their son. Only advising against such things as a slap on the face, [[SkewedPriorities due to the fact it would affect their performances]].
* When Mary first met George, [[FreakOut freaking out]] a bit when he pulled of his fake beard (he'd just been playing an old man). Mary of course had assumed he was the senior Cohan and screamed when the beard came off. She completely loses it when George takes off his wig, prompting him to step on it a few times to show her it's safe.
* [[RunningGag Dietz and Goff.]]
--> "That was ''[[NeverMyFault your]]'' department!"
** While we never find out what happened to Goff, Dietz is later seen trying to give flowers to Faye Templeton. Unfortunately for him, he was very drunk by the time he'd gotten to the theater.
* George and his competitor Eddie Foy's friendly banter back and forth after Foy readies the sign for the next Cohan show.
* One of the best scenes has George and Mary's World Tour.
--> '''Mary''': George, I didn't know you could yodel.
--> '''Cohan''': Learned it on the farm. Nothing but pig callin' with frost on it.
* According to some inside information, the scene where Cagney goes into a tap dance while walking down the stairs at the White House was completely [[ThrowItIn ad-libbed]].
