Movie Reviews of The Jazz Singer - 25th Anniversary Edition
Movie Review: memories
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed this movie when it first came out in the theaters. It brings back many happy memories of my childhood and the customs and feelings of my parents and Grand parents.
My husband not being Jewish got a look at life he had no knowledge of and never experienced. I had told him many stories but this movie showed him what I could only tell him about.
It probably would be considered corny in this day age of movies, but sometimes corny is good. Today, to find a movie that leaves you with good feelings is hard to come by.
Summary of The Jazz Singer - 25th Anniversary Edition
Neil Diamond stars as Yussel in this tale of a young Jewish cantor who strives to make a career in music. Against the wishes of his rigid father and his loving wife, Yussel travels to California to play his music. Swept up by the excitement, he meets a woman who shares his dream. He grows apart from his family, and becomes confused about what he should ultimately do with his life.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
