Trivia:

A part-talkie, this demonstrates the difficulty Carl Laemmle had in securing Fox's Movietone system throughout 1929. He would often be unable to secure the equipment for longer than a week at a time and was faced with the predicament of rushing projects or releasing them in a less marketable part-talking format at a time when the public was clamoring for talkies.
