This review is from: Jazz Singer [VHS] (VHS Tape)

If you love music and especially old standards, then you will love this movie. Danny Thomas gives a fine performance and had a voice that I think few people even knew about, let alone recognized him for. Peggy Lee also out does herself in her role as a Broadway artist and recording star. This lady always could lay out a song with emotion and style. These two performers put on a real class act!

This review is from: The Jazz Singer (DVD-R)

This is an excellent movie with great singing and acting. Had seen years ago and kept looking for it to come out on DVD. This is a movie that is well worth watching. Danny Thomas was a gifted singer, actor and humanitarian. If you like his movies, this is well worth having.

4.0 out of 5 stars DVD...when?, January 16, 2008

By 

James Fabiano - See all my reviews

This review is from: Jazz Singer [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I echo the other reviews on this site, this was a great rendition of the Jazz Singer, previously seen in the 1920s and later in the Neil Diamond rendition in the '80s. Peggy Lee really could do it all...she was great as a singer, a songwriter, and as an actress. "Lover" is such a great song.

We have 2/3rds of the JS renditions out there on DVD, now it's time to make this one available as well!
