The Jazz Singer

Hear him sing Mammy, Toot Toot Tootsie, My Gal Sal, Mother I Still Have You.

A foundational musical drama about generational and cultural conflict, centered on a young man's struggle between family duty and artistic ambition, told with warmth and period charm.

A young Jewish man is torn between tradition and individuality when his old-fashioned family objects to his career as a jazz singer. This is the first full length feature film to use synchronized sound, and is the original film musical.
