The picture is Jolson's and the scenes without him might almost as well have been scrapped in the first place.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Al Jolson heads a cast of '30s luminaries in this escapist Depression Era mix of music and melodrama. But the biggest star is behind the camera: musical-number creator and director Busby Berkeley, whose genius shines brightest in the spectacular razzle-dazzle of Don't Say Goodnight. Here, Berkeley orchestrates stunning top shots, eye-popping geometry, mirrors that multiply the dancers into infinity and 60 white pillars that move as effortlessly as the human talent. One night at the Wonder Bar - don't be late!
Product Description:
At the Wonder Bar, a fancy club in Paris, anything can happen as loves and lives intersect with fabulous Busby Berkeley musical numbers. While the characters chase after each other and fall in and out of love, tragedy strikes amidst the glamour.
