The Jolson Story (1946) - (Extended/Remastered) 4K

The Jolson Story is a 1946 musical biography which purports to tell the life story of singer Al Jolson. It stars Larry Parks as Jolson, Evelyn Keyes as "Julie Benson" (approximating Jolson's wife, Ruby Keeler), William Demarest as his manager, Ludwig Donath and Tamara Shayne as his parents, and Scotty Beckett as the young Jolson. The Columbia Pictures production was written by Sidney Buchman (uncredited), Harry Chandlee, Stephen Longstreet and Andrew Solt. The dramatic scenes were directed by Alfred E. Green, with the musical sequences directed by Joseph H. Lewis. The film was a tremendous financial success, and won Academy Awards for Best Music, Scoring of a Musical Picture and Best Sound, Recording, and was nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (Larry Parks), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (William Demarest), Best Cinematography, Color and Best Film Editing. Special thanks to Paul Bowers for help with the deleted scene. **Obligatory Disclaimer: It is the official position of this channel that Caucasians-in-Blackface is NEVER okay. It was bad then, and it’s bad now. We occasionally show images depicting the practice because it is necessary to tell the story of American show business, which like the history of humanity, is a mix of good and bad. Media of this period frequently contained depictions of ethnicities and/or races that, in the modern day, may be considered inappropriate, such as Blackface. Although it may seem shocking today, Blackface was a tradition in American entertainment that began in the 1830s, and was extremely commonplace until relatively recently. This history deserves to be explored openly.
