The Jazz Singer
Today we are talking about The Jazz Singer, the 1980 version starring Neil Diamond, Laurence Olivier and Lucie Arena. The film is about the son of a Jewish Cantor who defies the traditions of his religious father in order to pursue his dream of being a popular singer. Unfortunately, the film won quite a few Razzie’s despite the soundtrack’s success.

Some of our favorite parts of this movie are:
- Many problems with the production
- All of the music
- Lucie Arnez
- Many Montage
- The opening with many immigrants “get the job done”
- Is he taking over for Elvis?
