The “Al Jolson Story” was an excellent movie that was always shown on TV during the holiday season because of Jolson’s Jewish background. The movie, which had some excellent music, accurately depicted the Jolson character in blackface. Because of that, it became unacceptable, and I have not seen it in the past 40 years.
