Deutsch
Der Jazzsänger ist der erste Tonfilm in Spielfilmlänge. Unter der Regie von Alan Crosland wurde der Film zum Vorläufer des Film-Musical.

Français
Rabinowitz, chantre d'une synagogue, souhaite que son fils Jakie lui succede. Mais celui-ci prefere le jazz. Chasse par son pere, il devient celebre, maquille en noir, comme vedette de jazz, sous le nom de Jack Robin. Remake du premier film parlant de l'histoire du cinéma.

Italiano
Jakie, un ragazzo ebreo, sconvolge le tradizioni di famiglia perché non vuole cantare in Sinagoga, come hanno fatto tutti i maschi di famiglia prima di lui per cinque generazioni. Infatti ama il jazz e a questo vorrebbe dedicare la sua carriera. Il padre, il cantore Rabinowitz, lo osteggia apertamente finché dopo un'aspra discussione Jakie lascia casa e se ne va per la sua strada. Cambia il nome in Jack Robin e si dipinge la faccia di nero per seguire le sue aspirazioni, finché non gli si presenta la grande occasione con l'aiuto di Mary Dale, famosa cantante, con cui ha una relazione. Arrivato a questo punto Jack dovrà riconsiderare le sue scelte, anche nei confronti della sua famiglia.

Español
Primer film sonoro. La Warner Bros. Pictures, que por entonces pasaba problemas financieros, fue el primer estudio en sacar un filme sonoro, que alternaba la voz y canciones de Al Jolson con subtítulos. Por supuesto, e independientemente de la calidad artística del filme, se convirtió en un gran éxito de taquilla.

Český
Příběh mladého Žida Jackieho Rabinowitze. Proti židovským tradicím a proti vůli svého otce zpívá populární písně v pivnici. Jeho otci se to však nelíbí, o budoucnosti svého syna má zcela jinou představu. Odhodlaný mladík utíká z domu, aby mohl zahájit svou pěveckou kariéru pod pseudonymem Jack Robin. To ještě netuší, že toto rozhodnutí není úplně nejšťastnější.

ελληνικά
Θεωρείται η πρώτη ταινία στην ιστορία του ομιλούντος κινηματογράφου. Ο γιος ενός ψάλτη σε συναγωγή πηγαίνει κόντρα στην οικογενειακή παράδοση και γίνεται τραγουδιστής της τζαζ, προς μεγάλη απογοήτευση του πατέρα του.

svenska
Tonåringen Jakie är ende son till den hängivne kantorn Rabinowitz, som uppmuntrar sitt barn att följa samma väg som generationer av kantorer i familjen har gjort. Fastän Jakie är djupt påverkad av sina judiska rötter är hans passion jazz och han drömmer om att kunna hänföra en publik med sin röst. Sedan en vän till familjen berättat för kantor Rabinowitz att han sett Jakie sjunga på ett kafé straffar den rasande fadern sin son, vilket får denne att rymma hemifrån. Flera år senare kommer Jakie, alias Jack Robin, tillbaka som en erkänd jazzsångare och söker försoning.

Magyar
Hőse, Jakie egy zsidó kántor egyetlen fia, aki arra rendeltetett, hogy kövesse a család többgenerációs hagyományát. Őt azonban a jazz ragadja magával. Amikor kiderül, hogy egy mulatóban énekel, dühös atyját és megtört szívű édesanyját hátrahagyva megszökik a szülői házból. Évekkel később az új néven (Jack Robin) elismert jazzénekessé vált fiú visszatér, hogy megbocsátást nyerjen. Ám mivel beteg édesapja továbbra is hajthatatlan, Jacknek választania kell négerré maszkírozott énekeskénti karrierje és zsidó identitása között.

한국어/조선말
몇 대째 가문 대대로 내려오는 칸토르(유대교의 예배에서 노래를 부르는 선창자) 자리를 물려받게 되어 있는 유태인 소년 재키 라비노비츠(아역, 로버트(바비) 고든 분)는 재즈 가수를 꿈꾸며 아버지의 반대를 뿌리치고 집을 뛰쳐나간다. 재키는 13세 시절부터 업소에서 춤을 추고 노래를 부르며 재즈가수의 꿈을 키워나간다. 재키는 이름도 대중이 알기 쉬운 "잭 로빈"으로 개명하고 뉴욕에서 서서히 이름을 알려 브로드웨이의 커다란 공연에서 주연을 하게 될 기회를 잡게 된다. 하지만 첫 공연 전날 아버지가 위독하다는 소식을 듣게 되고, 가수로서 장래를 포기하더라도 아버지를 위해 노래하겠다고 생각하고 아버지 대신 유대교 속죄일 예배에서 노래를 부르며 아버지의 임종을 지킨다. 그 날 재키의 노래는 많은 사람들을 감동시키고, 그는 첫 공연에 빠져서 노래를 부르지 못했음에도 불구하고 브로드웨이의 인기 가수로 성공하게 된다.

български език
След първия си опит за музикален филм - "Дон Жуан", братя Уорнър ангажират един много прочут певец от мюзикхол, Ал Джолсън за музикален филм, в който диалогът е примесен с най-различни певчевски номера. Режисурата на филма поверяват на неизвестния Алън Кросланд. Сценарият, който смътно напомня немия филм "Барух" от Дюпон, описва възхода към слава на един беден певец евреин. Сценарият е удобен повод да се изпълни филмът с популярни песни и арии. Мигът, в който актьорът произнася първата си реплика: "Hallо, Mam" предрешава успеха на филма. Така с премиерата на "Джаз певецът" се отбелязва навлизането на киното в една нова ера от неговото развитие.

Português
Um cantor de jazz enfrenta o preconceito da sua própria família de origem judaica para poder ter fama e reconhecimento. Primeiro filme da historia do cinema a ter o som sincronizado com as falas dos personagens.

Український
Юний Джакі Рабіновіч, нехтуючи засадами свого благочестивого юдейського сімейства, виспівує популярні пісеньки в пивній. Коли батько карає його за це, Джакі тікає з дому. Через кілька років він, називаючи тепер себе Джеком Робіном, стає визнаним співаком джазу. Він намагається побудувати кар'єру естрадного артиста, але його професійні прагнення суперечать вимогам його будинку й спадщини.

Pусский
День премьеры фильма «Певец джаза» – 10 октября 1927 г. – официально считается днем рождения звукового кино. Эл Джолсон, один из лучших американских певцов 20‑х годов XX века, сыграл в этой картине главную роль – молодого парня Джеки, единственного и любимого сына кантора синагоги Рабиновича. Джеки, как и отец, должен был стать раввином, но его страсть – джаз, и он мечтает о карьере музыканта. После того, как отец узнает, что Джеки поет в кафе, он отрекается от сына и выгоняет его из дома. По прошествии нескольких лет Джеки, теперь уже признанный певец Джек Робин, возвращается в отчий дом, но отец не желает видеть сына, потому что по‑прежнему не одобряет его выбор. Финальная сцена их примирения до сих пор является одной из красивейших и эмоциональных в истории кинематографа.

Català
Primer film sonor. La Warner Bros. Pictures, que llavors passava problemes financers, va ser el primer estudi a treure un film sonor, que alternava la veu i cançons d'Al Jolson amb subtítols. Per descomptat, i independentment de la qualitat artística del film, es va convertir en un gran èxit de taquilla.

Polski

Jego ojciec (Eduard Franz) nie może pogodzić się z faktem, że Jerry nie chce pójść w jego ślady. Odmawiając kadisz, stwierdza, że dla niego syn nie żyje. Jerry, chcąc pojednać się z ojcem, przybywa do synagogi, by zaśpiewać Kol Nidre.

Compulsion, a deeply moving psychological courtroom drama, is one of several re-tellings of the infamous 1924 Leopold and Loeb killings.

Both boys -- gay lovers -- are the products of affluent, privileged upbringings, and both consider themselves above conventional structures of morality. Exercising their overwhelming feelings of superiority, the two students decide to kill a young boy. Rather than repenting for their crime, Steiner and Straus then set out to further the experiment by lending aid to the authorities. Inevitably, the duo is captured and prosecuted for the murder. Defense attorney Jonathan Wilk steps in and attempts to save the boys from execution, despite never receiving any explanation from the young culprits of their crime.

Mr. MajestykAction & Adventure1974

The script of Mr. Majestyk was Elmore Leonard's attempt to concentrate on the plight of Chicano migrant workers, instead the film that hit screens was extensively reshaped into a standard Charles Bronson vehicle. Hoping to make a living as a watermelon farmer, Battle-weary Vietnam veteran Vince Majestyk (Bronson) settles down in rural Colorado. Despite his new-found pacifism, Majestyk can't seem to stay out of trouble, and he lands in jail, where he plots a breakout engineered by Mob boss Frank Renda (Al Lettieri). Majestyk finds himself the main target of the Mob after offering to bring in Renda in exchange for his own freedom. It is bad enough when the crooks begin roughing up Majestyk's field hands; but when they ruthlessly machine-gun his entire melon crop, they've gone to far. Teaming up with Chicano labor activist Nancy Chavez (Linda Cristal), Majestyk decides to track down the mobsters one by one and mete out retribution.
