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 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.

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!

From great acting to suburb cast this movie has it all. After seeing all three versions, this is the best. After coming from the Army, Jerry (Danny Thomas) sees his family again. After a short visit, he goes onto success in his music carrer as a "Jazz Singer." After many trials and fights, he is reunited with his family, and finds happiness.

Out of the three versions of "The Jazz Singer," 1953 with Danny Thomas is my favorite. It is hard to find, expensive wherever you can find it, but still worth every penny. Why, oh, why is it the only one not available on DVD?
