PAPERBACK – MAY 15, 1979
The Jazz Singer was the first feature length film with spoken dialog as part
of the dramatic action. Set in the 1920s, it deals with the elemental conflicts
underlying a precise historical moment for the first-generation Jew in
America—sacred versus profane, Jew versus Gentile, ascetic versus libertine,
deprivation versus economic promise, immobility versus displacement.
