3.1“Hear him sing Mammy, Toot Toot Tootsie, My Gal Sal, Mother I Still Have You.”/ October 6, 1927
A young Jewish man is torn between tradition and individuality when his old-fashioned family objects to his career as a jazz singer. This is the first full length feature film to use synchronized sound, and is the original film musical.
“Hear him sing Mammy, Toot Toot Tootsie, My Gal Sal, Mother I Still Have You.”
