The Dawn of Sound: How Movies Learned to Talk (2007 Video)

entertaining and informative documentary

[9/10 · 11 January 2008]

This is one of the extras as part of the 80th anniversary edition of the 1927 Jazz Singer.This is a combination of recent interviews and archive footage which explains in clear detail the evolution of sound in the cinema.It gives credit where credit is due.Although i would not agree with the comments of the curator of the Thomas Edison museum.He made out that Edison invented everything.After all every country has its claimant to the invention of the motion picture.This is ideal not just for viewers who are interested in the subject but people like myself who have made a detailed study of the introduction of sound.So it was well worth a viewing be it on DVD or TCM
