4.0 out of 5 stars actually great! 25 Nov 2008
By Ms. F. I. Macdonald
Format:DVD
James Cagney can dance!!!and sing!! I know he did Yankee Doodle Dandy and really amazed audiences with his talent but sadly I haven't seen it yet so I was soo happy when this film started and little James was tap dancing his way to stardom in this really great film about a music hall performer who is offered fame and fortune in Hollywood, but then things begin to go downhill... watch it, it really surprised me!

1.0 out of 5 stars james cagney classics-DVD-Genius-AMC 10 Mar 2004
By LL - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
i am a big cagney fan, and i am accustomed to AMC playing quality prints of classic movies, so you can understand my disappointment in seeing these poor quality transfers, especially since it says "digitally remastered" on the front cover. save your money and hopefully a remastered set of cagney movies will appear soon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Forget Maltin's review 23 Nov 1999
By Thug's Ma - Published on Amazon.com
If you appreciate James Cagney for the quality and spunk of his dancing, this film is for you!

Sure, the plot is nothing to sing about, but this film is to be watched for Cagney alone.

He has several hilarious episodes as he enters Hollywood as a small time bandleader from NY. He is measured, analyzed and critiqued by a voice coach, hair dresser and tailor, and his reactions to all the poking and prodding show him as one of the underrated but awesome comedic actors. (Anyone who doesn't recognize Cagney as a great comedic actor hasn't seen enough of his films.)

Another great scene is when he does some great Vaudevillian slapstick facial pantomimes of "the take, the double take, and the double take with the fade-away."

Now the dancing! Cagney, who always billed himself as a song and dance man, never danced enough in his movies. But this has four great scenes of him him at his best -- a combination of down-to-earth hoofing and ballet. He does one scene with Johnny Boyle and Harland Dixon, the former who danced for George M. Cohan and helped Cag choreograph dancing sequences for "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Much of Cagney's dancing style is taken from Boyle.

No one could say that Cagney is the greatest dancer, but he injected a street attitude into his dancing along with exquisite grace that made him incomparable.

A must see!

3.0 out of 5 stars A slight musical featuring Cagney dancing 11 Mar 2009
By Douglas M - Published on Amazon.com
"Something to Sing About" is a slight musical made by Jimmy Cagney after his first break from Warner Brothers in 1936. Produced without the expertise and resources of a large studio, it is a modest affair which focuses on its magnetic star in a song and dance role. The music is pleasant, Cagney's dancing is always entertaining and there are some good songs with delightful arrangements. The plot takes band leader Cagney to Hollywood to become a star and it is entirely believable that some of the pot shots at stardom came from Cagney's own experiences. The film has some nice ideas but the pace is lethargic compared to the dynamic Warner's product and the editing is sub standard. Sure enough, Cagney returned to Warner's for his next film!

The film has been in the public domain for a long time and the print is mediocre. The DVD contains no extras.
