Something to Sing About wittingly mirrors Cagney's frustrations with the Hollywood rat race and pokes fund at the studio system as a whole. Production methods acting styles pompous executives overzealous agents and the era's intense fandemonium all provide choice fodder for the film's writers. Cagney is as smooth as silk acting with a comfortable naturalism his usual high-voltage portrayals often lack. During the dance sequences he has a ball obviously relishing the opportunity to strut his terpsichorean stuff before the cameras. Watching him flawlessly perform complicated steps in a bouncy marionette style makes one rue the lack of more Cagney musicals.
