AII his life he trained to be a cantor, but now Jerry GoIding has other ideas. He wants to see his name up in Iights on Broadway! Danny Thomas, star classic TV comedy series Make Room for Daddy, pIays Jerry in this 1952 update of the 1927 movie landmark that introduced the Sound Era. Opposite Thomas is musicaI Iegend Peggy Lee. Both Thomas and Lee rarely appear in films, which makes this heart-tugging show business story even more exceptionaI.
Exceptional, too, are performances of song standards like "Birth Of The BIues," " If l Could Be With You" and "l'm Looking Over A Four-Leaf Clover." (Ray Heindorf and Max Steiner shared an Oscar nomination for Best Musical Scoring). Watch Lee wrap Cole Porter's "Just One Of Those Things" in vocaI silk and smoke and then set Rodgers and Hart's "Lover" ablaze and you'Il know more than one jazz singer graces The Jazz Singer. |
