Surprisingly Interesting Biographical Drama
9 March 2021
Although I knew who Al Jolson was and perhaps a few of his songs, I wasn't enthused by the idea of watching a movie about his life but now I see that perhaps I should've been. The story is well written, punchy, and highlights a lot about human nature. Cast did a fantastic job not only with emotion, but subtle nuances as well. A remarkable tale, perhaps a common one in show business, and one well worth sharing.

Only two critiques come to mind. The main one being the audio especially when singing, it would be nice to hear a remaster of the the sound instead of the kazoo distortion at the end of the vocal range. Second would've been "The End" is a bit cliffhanger. If that's all, perhaps a summary paragraph explaining what happened next.

Enjoyable show about the business of show and the people who make it happen.
