The Jolson Story (1946) part 8

The Jolson Story is a 1946 musical biography which purports to tell the life story of singer Al Jolson. It stars Larry Parks as Jolson, Evelyn Keyes as "Julie Benson" (approximating Jolson's wife, Ruby Keeler), William Demarest as his manager, Ludwig Donath and Tamara Shayne as his parents, and Scotty Beckett as the young Jolson.

Has anyone in the history of movies done a better job at lip-synching than did Larry Parks in the two Jolson movies?

What happened to Larry Parks in the McCarthy era, this incredibly handsome, talented man, is so appalling, there are just no words to describe.

Love him, love this movie! I never get tired of watching it or him.

Betty Garrett was Larry Parks' wife. She played Irene on All in the Family, then Laverne & Shirley's landlady.
