| A remake of Jolson's 1925 Winter Garden show. | |
| Reviews | |
| Seeing Big Boy is the nearest a modern audience could come to experiencing Jolson at his greatest. (Michael Freedland) | |
| Verdict | |
| The only film record of Jolson playing Gus his stock blackface character from his Winter Garden days Big Boy isn't a great film but Al definitely seems more comfortable in blackface. The fact he has the make-up on for most of the movie means this one hasn't been revived much if ever since its release, a pity. | |
