The Talkies (jan 1, 1927 – jan 1, 1932)

Description:

Recorded sound ended the silent era in 1927. That's when Al Jolson both spoke and sang in 'The Jazz
Singer'. The film
mostly told us story with titles, but it had three songs and a short dialogue.
The first 100% sound film “Lights of New York” appeared in 1928. The first colour films were made
in the 1930s. Before that films were usually tinted.
By 1930 audiences were up. Only 31 years after the Lumières’ first film-show, modern movies had arrived.
The 1930s were the golden era of the great movie stars and a new generation of great directors. It was also the time when
two new kinds of films - the musical and the gangster film – first appeared on the screen.
