Jolson Sings Again.......2007-05-12

The rating is based on the premise that the viewer has also seen The Jolson Story. Jolson Sings Again is a sentimental charmer that scores because it finishes the business started in the far superior first film. Wonderful songs, competent performances, plus a fascinating view of the making of the first film, with the (at the time sensational) gimmick of having the aging Jolson (played by Larry Parks) meet and shake hands with the young man (Larry Parks) scheduled to portray him in biopic. (So you see Parks shaking hands with Parks.) As with the first movie, Jolson's songs are great, although his unique voice probably sounds cartoonish to most modern listeners, and the films fail to capture the reported electric dynamism of Jolson's live performances.

Less Dramatic Sequel.......2006-09-14

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.
