Keefe Brasselle's performance
I read all of the reviews here and I have to disagree with the comments about Keefe Brasselle. While he slightly overdid the expressions, he was so good that I did not know if he was the real Eddie Cantor or not. I do remember Eddie, but it was not from my era exactly, so I was not that interested. I watched the movie tonight and I almost changed the channel at first, but I was so intent on finding out if it was the real Eddie that I got hooked! I was amazed at Keefe's performance, especially of the actual performing. The movie was more interesting than I expected and it was a great job for the times. I even enjoyed all of the old songs and learned a lot about Eddie Cantor after I looked him up on IMDb.
