Something for the Boys is a 1944 American musical comedy film directed by Lewis Seiler. It stars Carmen Miranda, Michael O'Shea, Vivian Blaine, Phil Silvers, Sheila Ryan, Perry Como, and Glenn Langan. The screenplay, based on the 1943 Broadway musical with songs by Cole Porter, follows three cousins who, during World War II, inherit a mansion.
