Reputation as "of historical interest only": confirmed. Sadly, I couldn't even enjoy Jolson's performances, as the musical taste of American audiences circa the early decades of the 20th century has always confounded me; neither his reedy voice nor his ingratiating patter appeal at all, and of course the kindest thing that can be said about his blackface routine is that it's much more odious in conception than in his particular execution.

The Blu-ray [edition] has a more satisfyingly filmlike feel, bringing out the tight grain of the meticulously restored image and making the movie look less like a battered antique and more like the bleeding-edge technological marvel that did much to advance the acceptance of talking films in 1927.
