Customer Reviews of The Jazz Singer (Three-Disc Deluxe Edition)
God Bless Warner Home Video! First, ignore the old comments in this string that refer to the old VHS release and have nothing to do with this truly awesome new 3 DVD set. The content is awesome. Even if you have no interest in the feature (which has been completely restored with sound direct from origina discs and a new print). The fact this set contains 26 early, never on DVD (most never on video) Vitaphone vaudeville and music shorts from 1926-30, a new feature length documentary on the coming of sound, a dozen more shorts, and loads more extras ---- for less than $30 on Amazon --- makes this a must have for any film buff. <

>Recognize that NO other studio is releasing this kind of early talkie material, nor shorts. WHV is to be congratulated for assembling a first class package in a first class way. Please spread the word on this set. If it does well, perhaps more early stuff will emerge from the vaults! <

>Producer George Feltenstein deserves special recogition for sticking his neck out and producing a stellar set. Thanks!
It could have been so much better!
Excellent news but it could have been so much better. It has taken a long time for The Jazz Singer to be released on DVD and I can't wait to get my hands on the restored film and all of extras, particularly "Plantation Act" where the Jolson of 1926 sings "Rock-A-Bye your Baby", When the Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin' Along" and "April Showers" WOW!
<
>We should have had much more of Jolson. Al Jolson was and is "The Jazz Singer".
<
>If any of the artists in the Vitaphone music shorts, or ANYBODY else, had stared in "The Jazz Singer" it would not be remembered as "the first sound film", the film that revolutionized the industry. Warner's realised this when they asked him to collect their special Oscar at the first Academy Awards ceremony. "I don't know what Jack Warner's going to do with this statue. It can't say yes".
<
>So Jolson wasn't tall or handsome, he wasn't an actor but he could present a song and he could move an audience. Whilst today's DVD buyer might not appreciate Jolson's later films in their entirety what a great fourth disc it would have been to include all of his songs from his Warner films. (As we are promised with Judy Garland in the Rooney, Garland five disc set to be released end of September). Another unbelievable extra would have been the screen tests that Al Jolson made in 1948 before the shooting of "Jolson Sings Again". Either to convince the studio that he was still young enough to play himself or as a guide for Larry Parks, as if!
<
>I can only hope the there is more to come and that "We ain't seen nothin' yet".

A great and legendary film!
Those who know the film and history need not hear anymore from me. But I have to say, I'm glad I already own this movie in a great condition VHS tape, because I don't care to pay nearly $40.00 retail for a deluxe edition with two extra discs that I don't really care about. Perhaps if they re-release it later as just a single disc with the film only, then I'll purchase it.
