It is great that Lewis has been able to make this available after fifty-five years. It was a great show, produced by his own team, which means he had full control over the script and the production. It was obviously something he had always wanted to make. It's very well done. However, it will always be marred by the embarrassing scene in which Lewis, still in his clown make-up, sings "Kol Nidre" in a synagogue, wearing a tallis (prayer shawl). I always thought Lewis had good taste (except with comedy!!), but he seems to have had poor judgement there.
This is a production only it's not the jazz singer,it's the comic!Its difficult to do a 90 minute production in 52minutes Surrounding cast is good,an early Jerry serious role but the best is the one with Jolie and Jerry sings a few lines of Kol Nidre but it's not his thing❗️Worth seeing once for free on utube,This production was shown only once on network tv in 1959,Jerry buried it for a long time‼️Stick with Jolie,especially his brilliant rendition of Kol Nidre🎶‼️
