Storyline:]Based upon the controversial, published, semi-fictional 1935 novel of the same name by Humphrey Cobb, this anti-war film emphasizes the wide, hierarchical gap between those who take orders and fight the wars in muddy trenches, and those that give the orders and are isolated from the real ravages of war." Venkman agreed: "No human being would stack books like this." The trio also found that some of the card catalogue drawers had been "slimed" with white ectoplasmic residue, and collected a gooey sample.A page of the book is turned, and another title fades in over the open pages:Comes now from out the cradle of yesterday, the story of an ancient people, whose lives, though far away from ours, run parallel in their hopes and perplexities.The film was remade twice: Warners' and director Michael Curtiz'The Jazz Singer (1952)with Danny Thomas (as Jerry Golding) and Peggy Lee (as Judy Lane), and director Richard Fleischer'sThe Jazz Singer (1980)with singer-songwriter Neil Diamond in the lead role as the cantor's son with legendary co-star Laurence Olivier as his father.
