Something to Sing About

James Cagney brings his signature charm to this low-budget comedy, playing a rare breed of actor who can effortlessly transition from menacing gangster to top-hatted crooner. In "Something to Sing About," he stars as Thaddeus McGillicuddy, a New York band leader who lands a contract in Hollywood but ultimately finds himself at the center of a farcical media frenzy when his on-screen antics are inadvertently released to the public. With the help of his fiancée Rita (Evelyn Daw) and a series of misadventures with his studio boss, Cagney proves that he can handle anything - from song and dance to fisticuffs - in this satirical tale of the movie industry's foibles.
