Two of Hollywood's most famous musicals together for the first time on British television The Jolson Story starring Larry Parks , Evelyn Keyes with William Demarest , Bill Goodwin
This story of the legendary singer who gave the movies their first singing voice with the arrival of the talkies became the most successful film musical of its era. Jolson dubbed all the songs for Larry Parks - and even appears himself in one long shot. The film put Jolson back on the map after years in obscurity and firmly enshrined him in show business legend.
