While this may not have been a huge hit when it was released, it still showcases some outstanding songs by a really gifted artist. While the plot may seem trite at times, it still gave the viewer some substance to follow the path of the main character. At times it seemed plastic in his portrayal, he still had tremendous feeling in his musical performances. The story lines of how some his hits came into being flowed really well and how "Love On The Rocks" specifically began many years before it was released after a failed attempt by a popular rocker of the day showed feeling and even a bit of humor when he got "fired". Lawrence Olivier gave a fitting performance as the Cantor Robinovitch and his eventual coming to terms with his son showed great personal feeling and believability. If you are a fan of Neil Diamond, then you will want this in your library.Read full review

No Jazz and if you like Neil Diamond the songs are really nice. Diamond is good in his only acting gig. He preferred the stage and concerts. Lucy Arnaz is no thrill and Olivier is ridiculous as Father. He hated the film while making it and said so which the studio had to cover up. Worth a watch but Danny Thomas version is dull …..Jolson…the best.

The jazz Singer released in 1980 starring Neil Diamond. What a great film haven't seen it in a very long long time. I was a kid basically the last time I seen it. I love that I have it in my movie collection now after all these years on DVD a happy collector of a lot of great movies. BUY WITH CONFIDENCE FROM THIS SELLER.

Slightly grainy film converted to digital. It starts a little bit slow, but helps to develop the relationships between the characters. The music is excellent and the film shows why Neil Diamond was so popular in the late 60's thru the 80's. Laurence Olivier ( 4 stars} and cast keep the story line interesting to the end.

I'm a little disappointed that for a 25 Anniversary copy that there were not more extras. The extras I saw would have been found on any regular DVD. I also was hoping to find this movie on Blu Ray. Its still a great movie and I am a big Neil Diamond fan. Just wish it had more in the extras.
