  • I wish I could see the whole movie.

  • And they say Jolson couldn't act...don't believe it. Interesting that Cantor Rosenblatt refused to do Kol Nidre on film since it is a prayer. He consented only to do a Yiddish secular song for the cameras.

  • The Jazz Singer put Warner Bros on the map; George Jessel turned it down because he demanded more money as he was asked to sing in the movie. The part went to Jolson and the rest is history. The movie should be treated as a piece of history, obviously dated today but important nevertheless at the first commercially successful talking movie

  • he was born Asa Yoelson........ yikes

    (movie is available on video I think, its the corniest of the corniest of corny movies ever made......)
