Movie Reviews of Jolson Sings Again
Movie Review: Jolson Sings Again - just sit back and enjoy!
Summary: 4 Stars
Jolson Sings Again is the excellent sequal of The Jolson Story. Viewers really need to see The Jolson Story first, then Jolson Sings again. These two productions provide a wonderful overview of the exceptional career of Al Jolson. Great music and acting; well directed. Those who have seen these movies remain amazed that Larry Parks does such a wonderful job "lip sinking" to actual recordings by the infamous Al Jolson. Sit back and enjoy the wonderful story and great old songs.Movie Review: Super film, old times, best times
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very nice classic film, Larry Parks sets a perfect preformance off Al Jolson.Movie Review: Less Dramatic Sequel
Summary: 3 Stars
This is the second part of the story of Al Jolson. Although it does not go so far as to encompass the time where the last movie left off to his death because he was still living when it was made, it is interesting to see a less well-known piece. The movie begins right where it left off and covers Jolson beginning his career again, retiring again, entertaining troops in WWII, meeting a new wife, and being immortalized on the silver screen. This is certainly a more depressing film than the first and also less action packed.
Larry Parks does a wonderful job at playing Jolson once again. His participation in the movie is kind of spoofed when Parks as Jolson meets himself as a new actor chosen to play the part of the world's greatest entertainer. Perhaps his best scenes are during the emotional screening of The Jolson Story.
Unfortunately, it seems that the music isn't relied on as heavily in this film and many of the songs played are Jolson's less popular ones.
