About The Jazz Singer - 25th Anniversary Edition

Not much jazz spoken in this 1980 version of the Jolson classic, directed by Richard Fleischer (The Vikings) and starring a very tentative Neil Diamond as a cantor's son who would rather sing commercially than in a synagogue. The soundtrack is tedious, the portrait of L.A.'s music industry preposterous, and Diamond (despite his talents as a singer-songwriter in the real world) can't help but look like a speck on the wall in the presence of Laurence Olivier, who plays his father. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com

The Jazz Singer

The movie was great and I think better quality than others I have rented. Thanks so much for having it. I also ordered Godspell the movie with a friend of mine on her account and that also was of wonderful quality.
