This is a rarity!! I have received a lot of email regarding more of this show. Here are the closing minutes of a live TV drama version of "The Jazz Singer". Jerry Lewis takes the lead as a nightclub singer who is torn between show business and his faith. Co-Stars Anna Maria Alberghetti. (This is a TV remake of Al Jolson's first sound film.)
Note: These are the critical last minutes where the jazz singer must decide whether to follow his faith or stay with show business where "the show must go on." Many have asked if it was intentional that Jerry wore his clown makeup while singing the Kol Nidre. What do you think?
Air Date: NBC-TV October 13, 1959

Although Jerry had mastered pathos by this point, I'm not sure he was quite ready for this role just yet. But it's a good-enough performance, nonetheless.

Me encanta ver a Jerry en roles serios o dramaticos, creo que como comediante tiene ese facilidad innata. Creo que el rol de hacer reir a la gente es muy dificil y por lo tanto sabe manejar las emociones del publico.

Yes! It's Molly. Wonder how many of us remember her today?

Aw heck! The least they could have done was let Jerry sing the rest of Kol Nidre. In the movie, you got to hear it three times. The last time was so moving it brought tears to my eyes. But nooo, got to let the commercial sponsor push his product. Sheesh.
