Larry Parks should have got an Oscar for his betrayal of Jolson

Brilliant Jolson.

[@2034916]

Larry Parks was perfection.

[@lzermeno9171]

Perfectly cast. Personally, my image of Jolson is Parks, not Jolson. Parks was younger, more virile and better looking. The director and his sound engineer sync-ed in Jolsons voice with Parks mouthing and a new Jolson was born. When I saw the real Jolson for the first time as a kid, I was a bit disappointed.

Brilliant 👏

[@maureen1938]

FANTASTIC...WHAT A WONDERFUL ENTERTAINER HE WAS...

[@2034916]

I’m a Larry Parks fan.

[@russellpetch1381]

Always thought this great

[@lzermeno9171]

Larry Parks playing the Great Jolie... My Grandmother used to have me watch this with her. "Liza" stole the show! Other notable songs: "Latin from Manhattan", "Quarter to Nine", "You Made me Love you..(You dog!)....

[@maureen1938]

SUPERB..AWESOME !!

[@margaretthomas8899]

Go to Criterion and sighn the petition to get this and it's sequel on blue ray please?

[@albertgrayson9128]

Definitely

[@rickuyeda4818]

After he was Black Listed in Hollywood, he started building Apartment Buildings and made a forune renting them out.

[@jamesserrano5071]

He's like the Elvis in the thirties. A great singer for one thing when his time was over it's over. A singing like that career doesn'toesn't last too long. But look at Elvis. 44 years and it's still going strong as the king of rock and roll

[@clintonhill2377]

That SOB is disrespectful to black people

[@russellpetch1381]

You should know that Al Jolson started the career of Gershwin who wrote the song Swanee for him to perform.

[@tellcolombo8549]

@@clintonhill2377 You should search "I LOVE TO SINGA" sung by Al Jolson and Cab Calloway. Maybe that don't change your way of view, but will show you WHAT was the point of blackface to Al Jolson. I know today is different and controversial the meaning of blackface in USA, but at least in his case and some others, was for the purpose to show black music to a difficult whites audiences ... not necesary to mock blacks.

[@jeanguyverte8186]

@@clintonhill2377 Totally inaccurate. Al Jolson loved the Black music scene and incorporated and adapted some aspects for his style. He did more than any other entertainer to advance the status of Black entertainers than anyone. He was a pioneer in helping African Americans in show biz. Blackface was a very common form of entertainment in vaudeville. It wasn't meant as disrespect or racist. It was what it was. Society and culture change, evolve. Jolson's contribution to black entertainers helped that change take place.
