The Jazz Singer Ratings & Reviews
- SandyOlson78December 14, 2025Happy first day of Hanukkah! I don't watch a lot of silent movies because I don't like having to read the screen, but it was interesting.
- Mister ArnMay 24, 2025A gimmick for its time, mainly made to showcase the sound of Al Jolson's singing. It's watchable, but only a classic because it was the first.
