The Singing Kid

Popular radio and singing star Al Jolson portrays popular radio and singing star Al Jackson (not exactly a stretch!) in this engaging musical, as Al experiences a life-altering crisis when he suddenly loses his voice. His career already hampered by a growing drinking habit, Jackson decides to give show business--and his vocal cords--a long rest in the Maine countryside. Songs include "My Mammy," "Swanee," "Save Me, Sister," and more. With Sybil Jason, Lyle Talbot. 85 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
