"The Jolson Story" (1946)

Most of this movie I had huge grins and thoroughly enjoyed it--early story had lots of "never been done before, but I'm doing it" story, lots of great music, the ending was bittersweet--but you shouldn't let that detract you from watching a great movie. A number of familiar songs, but I think most were maybe from early Bugs Bunny cartoons?? (where I knew them from). Blackface still seems really strange to me. Lots of people dynamics going on here. A lot of similarities to "Yankee Doodle Dandy" ("life" of George M. Cohan). So this was the "life" of Al Jolson (stage name).
