"Say It With Songs" (1929) in an All-Talking musical drama motion picture which was released by Warner Bros.. The film starred Al Jolson and was a follow-up to his previous film, "The Singing Fool" (1928).

Production

"Say It With Songs" reunited Al Jolson with the boy actor, Davey Lee, of "The Singing Fool" fame, who had enthralled audiences in 1928, in another sentimental musical drama that was so similar to its predecessor that it failed to live up to its success. This, Jolson's third feature film, contains several firsts in his movie career: His first full length talkie (unlike his previous two efforts which were Part-Talkies with long sections of an essential silent picture - with a synchronized score and sound effects added - in addition to talking and singing sequences); his first to not present him singing a song in black-face; and the first Al Jolson movie to flop at the box office. It was also one of the few films in his career in which his on-screen character isn't named Al, and the second and last to cast him as a married man.
