About this product

Product Information

In New York City, Yussel Rabinowitz (Neil Diamond) trains to be a cantor. Although his father (Laurence Olivier) and wife, Rivka (Catlin Adams), don't approve, he also sings and writes songs for a black soul group under the name Jess Robin. When the group gets an opportunity in California, their leader, Bubba (Franklyn Ajaye), asks Jess to join them. Reluctantly, Rivka and his father let him go. In Los Angeles, Jess meets record company executive Molly Bell (Lucie Arnaz). Impressed by his music, she tries to promote him. However, Jess still struggles and is about to give up when Molly gets him a solo TV spot. Just as Jess seems set for stardom, Rivka and his father arrive to plead for his return.Samson Raphaelson's play about a talented singer's attempts to break away from a restrictive religious family was first filmed in 1927--when it became the first talkie. This--the third version--was made in 1980. Directed by Richard Fleischer after another director was dismissed, the film focuses on Molly's struggles to find opportunities for Jess, then on Jess's subsequent concert performances. Neil Diamond carries the film, singing his own songs with verve.

  • The First Talkie: Silent and Sound Hybrid

    The Jazz Singer was the first feature length movie to have talking sequences, which were done using the Vitaphone technology. Most of the dialogue is done in the silent movie style of frames with the lines written on them, while most of the "talking" scenes are the singing scenes.

He leaves his family at a young age because his father wants him to be a cantor in the synagogue and not use his voice for jazz music. Changing his name to a non-Jewish one he works his way up to starring in a Broadway show. In the end his father is ill and the synagogue needs a cantor for Yom Kippur. He must choose between his family and religion, the old world, and his career and jazz, the new world. This movie ...
