Watched online, ok print.
Plenty of songs (only 11 in the soundtracks; it must not show all the career progress medley partials), sung both by DT and PL, plus a couple by the cantors. He stays pretty close to cantor/crooner style; she is fully jazzy, doing a version of Lena Horne/R&H (Lover) tune that's almost unrecognizable, but still good.
This doesn't follow the story or the soundtrack of the '27 version, but it's close enough to share the title.
DT is a good actor, and Curtiz keeps it from getting too maudlin.
No woman gave up her career in this story.
