Neil Diamond, in his first film role, is a powerhouse of emotion and song in this remake of the venerable Hollywood drama. He’s Yussel Rabinovitch, a nice Jewish boy from New York who becomes Jess Robin and chooses the fast-paced life of L.A. and rock music over following in the footsteps of his cantor father (Laurence Olivier). Lucie Arnaz plays Jess’ shiksa love interest; songs include "America," "Love on the Rocks." With Catlin Adams, Franklyn Ajaye. 116 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English. Region Free
