If you are a Jolson fan like me you'll especially enjoy it. Jolson plays E. P. Christy in "Black Face".
Jolson was billed as the "Worlds Greatest Entertainer". And he doesn't dissappoint.

Larry Parks, who played Jolson in The Jolson Story, was a blacklisted Communist. Looks like he's been blacklisted again!
