If a jazz singer attains atonement through their music, just as a cantor finds it through cantorial songs, so can we uncover the essence of atonement across all forms of expression, from film, art, to any creative outlets. Maybe there is healing through harmony.
Jolson’s passion reflects his subterranean Jewishness. I grew up w him through my parents, and became a true fan, as in fanatic. Even as a little girl, I found that his passion pulled at my heartstrings. Yesterday, I found the book, The Singing Fool, among treasures I was sorting to send to my adult grandkids. I think maybe I will read it once more first.
I like how you started out by mispronouncing the character's name as "Jackie" at least twice, but later pronounced it properly as "Jakie" (I guess somewhere during your production timeline, you discovered your error).
The most unrealistic thing about The Jazz Singer is the idea that a big Broadway play would open in New York on the night of Yom Kippur.

Slight correction: "Vitaphone" is pronounced "VITA-PHONE" not "VEETA-PHONE"

Good catch, it's from the movie Babylon

The film is about a reformi who doesn't understand why his son turned out a clown.
