this one be primarily interesting to those who like to study the early american sound film . others may find themselves nod off . since i be a follower of this period of film i stay with it . a a very early example of sound film ( 1929 ) it have a lot in common with other film shoot at the time represent dreadful script and wooden acting and and no background music . the rule for speaking at the time must have be speak slowly and with great emphasis . the result be an unnatural and stiff and sometimes hilarious delivery . most of the film shoot around this time be shoot with multiple camera cover a variety of angle and but all running at the same time so that the scene could be play without stop . interestingly and this seem to have be one of the early attempt at use one camera shoot an angle at a time and then use edit to make the scene move . this be course the technique that would become standard in late year . so i give the producer credit for take the time to assemble the film in a more cinematic and less theatrical style . one side note . this film be shoot use the rca photophone sound process and where the sound be record on a separate strip of film optically . during the edit process they apparently have not yet develop a way to make the splice on the sound track noiseless . so every time a cut be make you can hear a little pop on the sound . this would be correct fairly quickly and but this one may have be make to satisfy the public insatiable appetite for sound film and rush to market . slow and creaky and and of it time and but interest to me anyway .
