Le chanteur de Jazz (1980)
Yussel est chanteur le jour dans une synagogue; il se déguise en noir pour se produire la nuit sous le nom de Jess Robin dans les boîtes de jazz de Harlem. Sa formidable voix lui offre la possibilité de faire carrière mais son père, juif orthodoxe conservateur, estime que son don doit être uniquement réservé à Dieu et leur relation s'envenime. (C'est un remake du premier film parlant sorti en 1927 Le Chanteur de jazz. Le film n'a pas eu le succès espéré, mais la bande originale est une des plus grosses ventes d'album de Neil Diamond aux États-Unis.)
