- DirectorHenry LevinStarsLarry ParksBarbara HaleWilliam DemarestIn this sequel to" The Jolson Story", we pick up the singer's career just as he has returned to the stage after a premature retirement.

It takes the death of Mama Yoelson (Tamara Shayne) and World War II to bring Jolson back to earth - and to the stage.
