This musical drama marks the
screen debut of Moishe Oysher, in a film critic J. Hoberman calls an
"anti-Jazz Singer." Oysher stars as a wayward youth who makes his way
from his Polish shtetl to New York's Lower East Side where he is "discovered"
and becomes a well-known singer. Ultimately, he returns home to the Old Country
and reunites with his parents and his childhood sweetheart.
