This merry musical biography of âBanjo Eyesâ will gladden the hearts of Cantor and musical fans alike. Itâs got fabulous songs, assured direction by Alfred E. Green (The Jolson Story) and elaborate numbers typical of the Ziegfeld stage. Keefe Brasselle plays the energetic kid from the East Side in this decades-spanning saga of the showmanâs rise from singing waiter to vaudeville sensation and Ziegfeld Follies headliner, from pioneering radio days to his lifelong devotion to humanitarian causes. Cantor himself sings on the soundtrack, performing Makinâ Whoopee, If You Knew Susie, Margie, Ida, Ma, Heâs Making Eyes at Me and other signature tunes. He and wife Ida make a charming cameo appearance in this musical that will surely touch hearts and lift spirits all over.
