I came into the room where my father was watching this movie when I was about 10. I first saw Larry Parks as Jolson at about the 3:40 mark on this clip and became a fan for life.
That one song cost me a whole heap of money. If I had never heard that song I would never have been capitavated by the Jolson sound and gone on to spend all of my hard earned cash on the greatest entertainer that ever lived!
@jolson1933 What a shame that Parks' promising career was killed off by that monument to unreasoning political paranoia, the Blacklist. At least he had, by every account, a happy marriage to Betty Garrett.

I could watch this scene over and over
