Beau James is a 1957 film based on a non-fiction book of the same name by Gene Fowler.
The movie stars Bob Hope as Jimmy Walker, the colourful but controversial Mayor of New York City from 1926-32. American prints of this film are narrated by Walter Winchell; in Britain, the film was narrated by Alistair Cooke. One of the most memorable lines is when Walker is asked at a baseball game of a personal conduct scandal was "my comment, and you can quote me is I hope the Yankees win." The film includes unbilled appearances by Jimmy Durante and Jack Benny as themselves.
