One of the Greatest Entertainers & Movies (2004-03-21)  I first saw "The Jolson Story" in 1946 when I was a child. I developed a crush on Larry Parks, and a love of the music of Al Jolson. Periodically, I watch the video, as I did today. Ludwig Donath, who starred as Al Jolson's father in the film was a friend of my family. I have two personally autographed pictures of him. He was an accomplished actor from Austria, and a fine person. There is little comparable to the "Anniversary Song" as performed later in the film. My mother saw Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler three times in person in the San Diego area and in Los Angeles. "The Jolson Story" is one of my all time favorites. I wish that we had more contemporary entertainers like Al Jolson.
THE WAY MOVIES USE TO BE (2003-12-30) I"M A MAN OF FEW WORDS WHEN IT COMES TO THIS MOVIE, THE MOVIEIS NOTHING SHORT OF WONDERFUL ENTERTAINMENT. THERE ARE ALOT OFDISCREPANCIES ABOUT TRUTHS DATES AND ACTUAL HAPPENINGS, HOWEVERTHE MOVIE IS MAGIC, IT WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO A TIME OF INNOCENCEAND WHEN AMERICA TRULY HAD GREAT ENTERTAINMENT, SO SIT BACK GRAB THE POPCORN AND BE PREPARED TO TRULY ENJOY THIS MOVIE WHICH I"M SURE WILL LEAVE YOU HUMMING SOME OF THE WONDERFUL SONGS,AND LONGING TO CRANK UP THE DVD PLAYER AND WATCH IT AGAIN AND AGAIN
Finally, my favorite movie on DVD (2003-10-25) Like another reviewer, I have literally seen this movie over a hundred times. I grew up watching this movie on TV every time it came on. The Laserdisc release was very good. I am happy to report that the DVD transfer is very nice. The packaging is awful and would lead you to believe this is one of those throwaway bargin DVDs, but the package does indicate the re-mastering was done in high definition. The sound indicates mono, which most of the movie is, but it is really the stereo version of the movie which as a few pans of some sound effects taken from the original mono release. For Jolson Story fans, I do not need to sell on this, but for those who have never heard Al Jolson, this is the best way to hear him.
One of my favorite musicals!! An amazing Biography! (2003-08-30) What an excellent movie and i have been waiting forever for this to come on dvd, im so happy it is. A must see for anyone really! It may seem kinda odd to watch a singer from the 30's and 40's but trust me, he is the one who started it all. The life story is very touching and very amazing! Must See
One of the best (2003-08-11) I have watched this movie literally hundreds of times, and it gets better all the time. Larry Parks is phenomenal as the incomparable Al Jolson, flawless in lip synching the great songs. The entire cast is terrific, as are the story and music. Not so patiently waiting for it to come out on DVD!
