About 17 songs performed, with a bunch more listed in Soundtracks.
This is another songwriter biopic. Widow Grace Kahn is listed an uncredited technical advisor, but I won't assume that makes this more accurate.
DT and DD are well-matched, both singers who can act. Although DD is playing a song-plugger/composer who eventually marries Kahn, she sings a few times for us. DT sings too.
Some of these songs are very familiar, and include Jolson/Cantor signature tunes.
I like the film, but see no reason to recommend it, other than to see DD and/or DT.
