- Quotes
Self - Interviewee: Broadway is full of Hollywood Producers trying to find this next generation of stars who will be able to replace the ones who can't speak for themselves in silent cinema - the ones whose voices don't match their faces. So, from the moment that Al Jolson sings, then, that's a very good time to be performing the lead in a play on Broadway; because, the audience is full of talent scouts waiting to put you on the 20th Century ship you West.

Featured review
Less than Ordinary
There is nothing outlandishly wrong about this documentary, but there really isn't anything interesting or new, either about the man professionally or personally.
