Other films to feature the song include Scarface and Three on a Match (both 1932), both featuring actress Ann Dvorak dancing to the song: in Scarface the song is played in a nightclub by Gus Arnheim's band while Cesca Camonte (Dvorak) dances and in Three on a Match, Vivian Revere Kirkwood (Dvorak) dances while Jerry Carter (Harry Seymour) plays "Some of These Days" on a piano.

"Some of These Days" was also featured in the 1939 release Only Angels Have Wings in which Bonnie Lee (Jean Arthur) plays the song on the piano in a cantina.
