It would be fair to say that James Cagney was to Jack Warner what Bette Davis was to Jack Warner - a royal pain in the butt! (Except, of course, once their performances were actually hitting the silver screen). Both of these great actors had brought a lot of street smarts with them when they came out West from New York, and fighting it out with the Boss seemed to be as natural as falling off a log. Something to Sing About was the direct result of Cagney's successful bearing of the lion in his own den.
Cagney was working for two Hollywood veterans in Victor Schertzinger and Eddie Alperson, and they managed to assemble a cast which, if not star-studded, was laden with some of the most well-liked character actors in Hollywood. Bill Frawley portrayed Cagney's press agent (what else?), Gene Lockhart appeared as the euphemistically-named studio boss "B.O." (sound anything like "J.L."?), and Johnny Arthur, famed as Darla Hood
