Best Art Direction - DirectorHenry LevinStarsLarry ParksBarbara HaleWilliam DemarestIn this sequel to" The Jolson Story", we pick up the singer's career just as he has returned to the stage after a premature retirement. However, his wife has left him and the appeal of the spotlight is not what it used to be. This time Jolson trades in the stage for life in the fast lane: women, horses, travel. It takes the death of Mama Yoelson (Tamara Shayne) and World War II to bring Jolson back to earth - and to the stage. Once again teamed with his longtime manager Steve Martin (William Demarest ), Jolson travels the world entertaining troops everywhere from Alaska to Africa. When he finally collapses from exhaustion it takes young, pretty nurse Ellen Clark (Barbara Hale) to show him there's more to life than "just rushing around".Best Screenplay
