"A melodramatic story of a Jewish cantor's son (Al Jolson) who aspires to be a jazz singer despite his father's objection and religious tradition."@en
"Al Jolson plays the part of Jakie Rabinowitz in what is considered to be the first motion picture to utilize synchronized sound. The narrative follows Rabinowitz as he abandons a career as a Jewish cantor to pursue his passion for jazz, eventually achieving fame and fortune as a blackface singer. Al Jolson's dancing, singing and whistling was an immediate hit with the American public. The Jazz Singer's commercial success saved Warner Brothers from bankruptcy. The studio quickly produced several sound films using Sam Warner's new Vitaphone system all of which proved enormously popular with American audiences, ushering in the age of the talkies."@en

"Élevé dans le ghetto de New York, le petit Jackie se découvre très vite des dons de chanteur, à la grande joie de son père, chantre à la synagogue, qui voit là un successeur assuré. Mais Jackie se passionne plus pour le jazz que pour les chants liturgiques et s'enfuit de chez lui pour tenter de faire carrière au théâtre. Devenu célèbre, il apprend que son père est malade et qu'il ne peut plus chanter. Ce sera l'occasion d'une réconciliation."
""Le chantre Rabinowitz furieux a trouvé son fils Jackie en train de chanter dans un bar, et l'a chassé du foyer familial. Quelques années plus tard, Jackie est chanteur de jazz dans un night-club et se fait appeler Jack Robin. Il est remarqué par l'actrice Mary Dale, qui se propose de l'aider à faire carrière. Et en effet, Jackie est propulsé sur les scènes de Broadway pour y faire un nouveau spectacle, un spectacle qui ferait de lui à coup sûr la nouvelle vedette de la chanson sous les traits d'un blackface. Mais le concert tombe le jour de la Yom Kippour, et le père de Jackie, très malade, est donc incapable de chanter à la synagogue. Sa mère et un voisin essaient de convaincre Jackie de renoncer à son show et participer à la célébration. Incapable de résister, il se précipite à la synagogue pour y chanter le Kol Nidre, la prière traditionnelle. Son père meurt dans la joie. Quelques années plus tard, Jackie est de nouveau sur les planches et obtient un immense succès, sous le regard de sa mère."--Wikipedia."@en

"Comédie musicale mélodramatique adaptée de la pièce de Samson Rafaelson, le premier long-métrage de fiction sonorisé. Yossl Rabinovitz, le fils d'un cantor d'une synagogue newyorkaise, est destiné à suivre les traces de son père. Cependant, il préfère la musique moderne et préférerait chanter le jazz à Broadway. Le bon fils manque sacrifier sa carrière à ses parents et à sa religion, mais cède finalement à sa passion et connaît rapidement une carrière triomphante. Avec Al Jolson, May McAvoy, Warner Oland."
"Al Jolson plays Jakie Rabinowitz, the son of Jewish cantor who, much to his father's displeasure, rejects the singing tradition that runs in his family to follow a jazz singing career as cabaret-entertainer Jack Robin, a role that paralleled Jolson's own rise to fame. Though it is credited as the first sound feature, the film revolutionized the American film industry less through its technology than its enormous popularity. Only twenty minutes or so of the film can be described as a 'talkie', with all of the Vitaphone sequences with synchronized dialogue and singing built around Jolson's musical numbers. Much of it was shot silent, with the score added later. The film was a phenomenal success, transforming Warner Brothers from a shoestring operation on the verge of receivership into a major player in Hollywood. Songs include 'Mammy', 'Toot Toot Tootsie, Goodbye', 'Dirty Hands, Dirty Face', 'Blue Skies', 'Mother, I Still Have You' and the 'Kol Nidrei'"@en

"SUMMARY: "Cantor Rabinowitz is concerned and upset because his son Jakie shows so little interest in carrying on the family's traditions and heritage. For five generations, men in the family have been Cantors in the synagogue, but Jakie is more interested in jazz and ragtime music. One day, they have such a bitter argument that Jakie leaves home for good. After a few years on his own, now calling himself Jack Robin, he gets an important opportunity through the help of well-known stage performer Mary Dale. But Jakie finds that in order to balance his career, his relationship with Mary, and his memories of his family, he will be forced to make some difficult choices." IMDB"

""In New York City, at the turn of the century, Cantor Rabinowitz is determined that his thirteen-year-old son Jakie become the next in a long family line of cantors. On Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, he looks forward to the time when Jakie will take his place in the temple, but his loving wife Sara is concerned that their son wants to do something else. Meanwhile, Jakie is seen singing in a saloon by neighborhood kibbutzer Moishe Yudelson, who then rushes to inform the cantor. Jakie is then dragged home and given a whipping by his father. Later, Jakie tells his heart-broken mother that he is going to be on the stage, then runs away. Years later, in San Francisco, Jakie has become a singer performing at Coffee Dan's restaurant. When he sings the poignant song Dirty hands, dirty face for the audience, followed by the jazz tune Toot, toot, Tootsie, vaudeville dancer Mary Dale, who is in the audience, is intrigued. She tells him that he has what other jazz singers do not, a tear in his voice, and helps him to get a job with her troupe. Some time later, while performing in Chicago, Jakie, who has changed his name to Jack Robin, goes to a concert of sacred songs given by famed Cantor Josef Rosenblatt, and is deeply moved. Through the years, Jack has sent letters home boasting of his success but has never reconciled with his father. Jack has grown to love Mary and is saddened when she leaves the troupe for a chance to appear in a Broadway show. A short time later, Jack is told by his agent that he, too, has been offered a part in a Broadway show, and he looks forward to a return home to New York and his mother. In the autumn of 1927, on Cantor Rabinowitz's sixtieth birthday, Jack pays a surprise visit home. Although Mrs. Rabinowitz is over-joyed to see her son, who promises to move them to a new house in the Bronx and buy her a new pink dress, Cantor Rabinowitz is furious to hear his son singing jazz music in the house. They have a violent argument over Jack's preference for show business over the family tradition of being a cantor, and Jack leaves after his father bitterly calls him a 'jazz singer.' On Yom Kippur, Cantor Rabinowitz is too ill to sing the Kol Nidre in the temple and dreams that his son will sing in his place. Yudelson goes to see Jack at the theater where April Follies, the show in which he is co-starring with Mary, is about to open, and asks him to sing in the temple. Although Jack is torn, he refuses. Just before Jack is to go on stage and perform his role in the dress rehearsal, Yudelson returns with Mrs. Rabinowitz, who begs her son to reconsider. Although Jack's heart is pulling at him, Mary reminds him of what he had just told her, that his career means everything to him. Jack refuses to leave the dress rehearsal and, seeing Jack on stage, Mrs. Rabinowitz realizes that her son no longer belongs to her and leaves. When his number is over, Jack is told by Mary that his mother realizes that his life is now show business, but Jack cannot deny what is in his heart, and rushes to see his father. Jack then goes to the temple and, after Cantor Rabinowitz hears his son singing the Kol Nidre, he dies in peace. Although the show's opening had to be canceled because of Jack, he is soon a Broadway star and sings Mammy as his mother and Yudelson proudly sit in the front row, and Mary happily watches from the wings"--AFI catalog, 1921-1930."@en
