scsu1975 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Ah, I just put your clues together, and since the face is familiar, I am going to guess George Jessel in PRIVATE IZZY MURPHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scsu1975 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Well, I was pretty sure it was Jessel once I studied his face ,... and he did The Jazz Singer on Broadway (assuming that was a clue).. so I checked his filmography and that was the only title that seemed reasonable.
