A young Jewish man works in his father's jewelry business, but he doesn't like it at all--he wants to be an entertainer, something he knows that his father would never approve of.

PUNQ

Rated 07 Jul 2022

The poverty row studio Tiffany Pictures' answer to the The Jazz Singer (1927). Not nearly the sob story, but George Jessel was basically Al Jolson, and with this being a part-silent/part-talkie, there was more than one similarity in the vibe of this Lucky Boy (1929). Plenty of corny moments, but they tried here, so it ends-up being a decent picture. Poor man's Jazz Singer, if you will.
