Jolson at his best; terrific 1930s musical, 16 November 2005
10/10
Author: fisherj from United States

It is often written that Al Jolson was not a great screen actor and there is truth in this, but Jolson was at his best in "Go Into Your Dance." Co-starring with his then-wife Ruby Keeler, also at her best in this film, Jolson introduces songs forever after associated with him ("About a Quarter to Nine," "She's a Latin from Manhattan") and the film is a logical successor to "42nd Street." Bonuses include comedy from Patsy Kelly, who works well with Jolson, and the legendary torch singer Helen Morgan who, unfortunately, only sings one song. The filmmakers missed an opportunity not having Jolson and Morgan perform together. Especially entertaining is the fast-paced, melodramatic conclusion with Jolson on-stage in his characteristic black face reprising "About a Quarter to Nine" and singing the film's title song, "Go Into Your Dance." This film should be more highly regarded as one of the more entertaining musicals of the 1930s.
