Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: Not much jazz spoken in this 1980 version of the Jolson classic, directed by Richard Fleischer (The Vikings) and starring a very tentative Neil Diamond as a cantor's son who would rather sing commercially than in a synagogue. The soundtrack is tedious, the portrait of L.A.'s music industry preposterous, and Diamond (despite his talents as a singer-songwriter in the real world) can't help but look like a speck on the wall in the presence of Laurence Olivier, who plays his father. --Tom Keogh

The Jazz Singer third version
This movie is usually trashed by everybody. I enjoyed the music, Neil Diamnond and seeing an updated version of the movie. I will agree the the title should be the Rock Singer, then again the last version of A Star is Born with Steisand and Kristofferson could use the same title. The original story of that movie was about the rise and fall of movie stars.
I grew up seeing the 1950's version of this movie and always enjoyed it. The updated version had the good sense to drop the jazz and vaudeville storyline. Period pieces don't go over well these days.
I bought the soundtrack in vinyl and loved it. At least when Jess decided he had had enough, he just left town. He didn't get hooked on drugs or booze. That in itself is worth seeing as a piece of good sensible advice. The music is a good mixture. Laurence Olivier gave his usual stellar performance. I kept thinking of hin in a NBC production of The Merchant of Venice. All in all its a good update to an old storyline.

Excellent Music- Lucy Arnez & Neil Diamond are great in this. Wish they both would have been in more movies.

Jazz Singer better than ever
Even though this movie is from the 60's era, the plot, message, music, and casting are marvelous. LOVE this anniversary edition as the sound is fantastic. I can watch this movie over and over again. Highly recommend this anniversary edition! GREAT!
