Al Jolson musicals on DVD?
It's odd that one of the greatest entertainers of the 20th century hasn't been honored on the DVD format. To my knowledge, none of Jolson's films are available on DVD. I have heard that WB is prepping a 2-disc SE of the Jazz Singer but judging by the fact that WB releases its SE's during anniversary years, I really don't expect this earlier than 2007 which would be the 80th anniversary of release.
(See - My Fair Lady 1964:2004 (40th anniv.); Shawshank Redemption 1994:2004 (10th Anniversary); Gone With the Wind 1939:2004 (65th anniv.))
But does anyone have any clue about his other films? Most notably The Singing Fool, Mammy and The Singing Kid.
Jolson needs to be on DVD~!
