★★★★★ · Great Movie ! · 1969nam · 2026-05-17
Thank you for sharing. I always remember seeing George Jessel as an older actor on various tv shows when I was growing up. This is a first class movie that is silent sometimes with cards then has talking with fabulous singing parts. I smiled through out this entire movie, which could be in the circle of life classified as never ever give up. Successful !
