1001 Movies ... my own version (1920's) (88 movies items)" Notes: It is considered as the first âtalkingâ movie so it was pretty huge when it was released at the time. Well, I was rather surprised by how little dialogue was actually involved in the damned thing after all and they still used intertitles for most of the duration.

“I wasnât really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was available on YouTube, I thought I might as well check it out, especially since it had quite an impact.

Basically, the sound was mostly used for the songs performed by Al Jolson. The songs were actually all pretty good by the way. And, yet, during these songs, Jolson did improvise some dialogues and it was basically the first time ever that you had some audible dialogue. Well, I thought that even when you watch this movie almost 100 years later, the ” read more

Cinematic Firsts (214 movies items)" *First feature film with recorded dialogue, using the Vitaphone system."
“(OK) Not just the first film with sound, but a special film with social topic (the persistance of jewish tradition against free will of a young talented man). It's meaningfull that the only dialogued sound scene of the film is between Jolson and his mother: melodrama and clashes between generations, are more important than romance and intigue...” read more

ElokuvapÀivÀkirja 2020 (141 movies items)"17.1. Jazzlaulaja on klassinen esimerkki siitÀ, ettÀ ensimmÀinen tai pioneerityö jossain ei tarkoita, ettÀ se olisi jotain erityisen hyvÀ. TÀmÀhÀn oli siis niitÀ keskeisiÀ teoksia, jotka popularisoivat ÀÀnielokuvan joskus 20-luvun lopulla. Nykymakuun tÀmÀ on kamalan kankea ja tylsÀ tekele, jonka kaikkein vanhentuneinta kamaa taitaa olla valkoisten nÀyttelijöiden kÀyttÀmÀt huvittavat blackfacet. Todellisuudessa tÀllÀ leffalla on paljon muutakin kiinnostavaa "oheisvahinkoa"
