I think, in this case, it was legit to have 2 films.The first one was done in 1946 and the popularity of the film led to a resurgence in his career. The second one was released shortly before his death in 1950.
He really was a super star - from Vaudeville, early movies (he did star in the very first 'real' talking film)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jolson has a lot of good info.
I used to play some of his recordings on my radio show and always got good responses from my audience.
