Description

Watch Something to Sing About (1937), the full movie starring James Cagney in a classic Hollywood musical about love, fame and loyalty. Return to a world of dance bands, tap shoes and Old Hollywood charm. James Cagney stars as Terry Rooney, a New York bandleader whose invitation to Hollywood promises a new life—but puts everything he values to the test. After marrying his sweetheart, singer Rita Wyatt, Terry discovers that his newfound screen success comes with an extraordinary demand: the studio wants him to appear single. His wife must pose as his secretary, while publicity links him to his glamorous leading lady. As work and manufactured romance pull them apart, Terry faces a deeply personal choice about what success should really mean. Enjoy Cagney's spirited dancing, Evelyn Daw's soprano voice and William Frawley, later beloved as Fred Mertz in I Love Lucy. With music, romance and a wry look behind the studio gates, this musical comedy celebrates the enduring importance of love, loyalty and being yourself.
