The Jazz Singer

The movie that broke the sound barrier! Vaudeville crooner Al Jolson stars as a Jewish cantor's son who goes against his family's traditions to make it in show business. The first successful sound feature heralded the end of silent films. Co-starring William Demerest (Uncle Charley of TV's My Three Sons). Look for a young Myrna Loy (The Thin Man). Inducted into the Library of Congress National Film Registry.
