LACONIA— The 1937 musical comedy "Something to Sing About," will be the feature presentation on "LRPA After Dark" this Friday and Saturday, June 2 and 3, at 10:30 p.m. on Public Access Channel 25.
"Something to Sing About," starring James Cagney, is the story of a New York bandleader who journeys to Hollywood when he is offered a contract with a studio, but is determined to do things his way and not theirs. It is one of the few films to showcase Cagney's singing and dancing talents.
It was directed by Victor Schertzinger, who also wrote the music and lyrics of the original songs, as well as the story that Austin Parker's screenplay is based on. Cagney's co-stars are Evelyn Daw and William Frawley, and the film features performances by Gene Lockhart and Mona Barrie.
“Something to Sing About” was Cagney’s second film at Grand National Pictures, one of the so-called “Poverty Row” studios that specialized in low-budget movies.
Viewers who do not subscribe to MetroCast Cablevision can watch the show by logging on to the Live Stream through the LRPA website, www.lrpa.org.
