A young Jewish man is torn between tradition and individuality when his old-fashioned family objects to his career as a jazz singer. This is the first full length feature film to use synchronized sound, and is the original film musical.
Editor's Verdict
"The Jazz Singer is a landmark film focusing on Jewish identity, tradition, and career ambition. It contains absolutely no references to Christmas, holiday themes, or seasonal settings within its narrative."
