Rating: - Superb film
Buy this film, you'll be very pleased. I was. Also, this is very difficult to find, thankfully we have Amazon.
Rating: - Terrific Movie
Great movie, sure the biography is not accurate, but remember when this movie was made character flaws were erased or glossed over. By the way, there is a scene in the movie, a distant camera shot of Jolson/Parks singing and dancing in a theater and on a runway. That is actually Jolson doing that.
Rating: - Fabulous Movie
This has got to be one of the best all time musicals. It's no wonder Al Jolsen was considered one of the the greatest entertainers of all times. My kids and grandkids love these two movies of his life. And I knew most all the songs. How? My mom and dad used to sing his music to me when I was young. I highly recommend these two films. You'll be hooked

Sometime in 1946 I remember standing in line with my Aunt Dixie at the Paramount Theater in Marion, Indiana, waiting to see one of the more enjoyable musical bio flicks of a major entertainer ever produced for the silver screen. We saw it twice that week. I would do it again today in a heartbeat. The vocals of Al Jolson are infectious and addictive, the songs memorable and Larry Parks needs only to be remembered for this characterization to have a place among Hollywood's fine performances. No one could have equalled his effort and complete command of the Jolson personna. His performance is magnificent, ... Read More
