The Jolson Story & Jolson Sings Again
This dvd was a brilliant purchase. It was for my nanny which has alzheimer's. She always loved this and we could not find it anywhere until i found it on your dvd. It made my nanny very happy to watch it and she remembers a lot about it and she watches it over and over again. I would defiantly buy off this site again as there is a lot of dvd at great prices that you cant get in shops.
