Landmark film! The first to succesfully marry sound to film - the world's first talkie! Warner Brothers scooped the pool with the release of this film in 1927 and the film industry was changed overnight. Careers were lost and launched by this technological marvel. The film today is a curiosity, but an important movie milestone. Songs inc. "Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye", "My Mammy", "Blue Skies". (GF)
