THE JAZZ SINGER (1952): a true example of Hollywood bizarreness and weird self-hatred when it came to casting. DANNY THOMAS, MILDRED DUNNOCK, and EDUARD FRANZ - all Christians - play the ultimate Jewish family. The film was released by Warner Brothers - also Jews. So many Jewish performers working for the Jewish moguls - Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson, Paul Muni, Sylvia Sidney, Hedy Lamarr, Claudette Colbert, John Garfield, Kirk Douglas, Judy Holliday - changed their names and soft-pedaled their religion to make it as stars and when the studios decided to actually film Jewish subjects they do this kind of off-the-wall casting, and who wants to sound off on MILLIE Freakin PERKINS in DIARY OF ANNE FRANK?!
