Title: May get hooked on Jolson
Product review: I bought The Singing Fool because one video catalog said that it is a sequel to The Jazz Singer. That was not true, since the main character is different. But I enjoyed it anyway.Some of the emotions looked real and convincing, even though it contrasts with cinematographic techniques over 70 years later. It's been about three years since I saw it, and some of the scenes remain vivid in my memory. On the other hand, it was a little hard to take the singing styles seriously, to get into the mindframe that people of that era had.If this ever comes out on DVD, I might purchase it then. And I might explore Jolson films further. Not sure yet if I would want to actually own the others, but we'll see.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
