Music reviews of Jolson Story (1946)
Music Review: SOME MINOR COMPLAINTS
Rating: 4 Stars
I have a few minor complaints about this release. It neglects the first half hour of the film, in which young Asa Yoelson (portrayed by Scotty Beckett) grows up to become Al Jolson. I believe their inclusion would have contributed tremendously to the overall impact of this disc. Songs like "Banks of the Wabash" and "Bluebell," as well as "When You Were Sweet Sixteen," were pivotal in conveying the genesis of the World's Greatest Entertainer. Their exclusion is more than compensated for by the inclusion of the songs from the 1930 Warner Bros.'Vitaphone production of "Mammy," in which one can compare the style of the younger Jolson with the mellower voice of the older Jolson. It seems to me also that the source of "The Jolson Story" music was probably the VHS video of the movie, since the actual film mix is evident. That said, the sound on a quality audio system is quite good.
