VHS Movie Reviews of Mammy (1930)
Movie Review: Horray for Al Jolson!
Summary: 4 Stars
The story of this film is mediocre. Al Fuller, one of the stars in a vaudeville act, is in love with his best friend's girl. However, his best friend treats the girl badly. The two get into a fight about the way she should be treated, and another cast member frames Al, making it look as if he tried to murder his best friend. The supporting cast is not memorable enough to carry the show to its limit which makes it less engaging than it could be.
The songs in this films are not outstanding either, except for the often used "Let Me Sing And I'm Happy" which Jolson emotes with passion. The lyrics seem to truly illustrate Jolson's own love for music and performing.
The reason this film gets four stars instead of three is because of the outstanding performer Al Jolson. Yes, he was stagy and yes he was egotistical, but he is nothing but lovable in this movie in which he plays the underdog Al Fuller. He is magnetic in all of his scenes; he loves the camera and the camera loves him. Audiences catch a glimpse of what Jolson must have been like on the stage in his scenes imitating vaudeville, a highly lovable and lasting actor.
