Blu-ray Review
The Jazz Singer
Directed by: Alan Crosland
Cast: Al Jolson, May McAvoy, Warner Oland
Running Time: 1 hr 37 mins
Rating: Nr
Due Out: January 8, 2013

Who’S It For? Are you desperate to see where film came from? Then you should be required by law to see this film. Plus, you’ll see the roots for every father/son story Hollywood has recreated, and plenty of Jewish guilt.
Message from Warner Bros.
