The Jolson Story
The film traces the meteoric singing/performing career of Asa Yoelson, a talented cantor's son determined to make it big in the "biz". After changing his name to Al Jolson, Asa captivates audiences everywhere as a spellbinding minstrel and jazz performer. Featuring 25 songs by Jolson and big hits such as "My Mammy" and "You Made Me Love You",
The Jolson Story is a compelling tribute to an incomparable performer once hailed as America's Greatest Entertainer!
Jolson Sings Again
The drama unfolds when Jolson exits retirement and heads back to Broadway, where he discovers that musical styles have changed and his exuberant brand of minstrel jazz no longer pulls top billing. Discouraged and tired of a life of wine, women and little song, Jolson turns to his friend and manager who enlists him to entertain troops during the war. There he falls in love with and marries a beautiful army nurse, who encourages Al to sing again.
