In the opinion of many film historians and aficionados, both at the time and subsequently, silent film had reached an aesthetic peak by the late 1920s and the early years of sound cinema delivered little that was comparable to the best of the silents. For instance, despite fading into relative obscurity once its era had passed, silent cinema is represented by eleven films in "Time Out"'s Centenary of Cinema Top One Hundred poll, held in 1995. The first year in which sound film production predominated over silent film—not only in the United States, but also in the West as a whole—was 1929; yet the years 1929 through 1933 are represented by three dialogueless pictures ("Pandora's Box" "Zemlya" [1930, "City Lights" ) and zero talkies in the "Time Out" poll. ("City Lights", like "Sunrise", was released with a recorded score and sound effects, but is now customarily referred to by historians and industry professionals as a "silent"—spoken dialogue regarded as the crucial distinguishing factor between silent and sound dramatic cinema.) The earliest sound film to place is the French "L'Atalante" (1934), directed by Jean Vigo; the earliest Hollywood sound film to qualify is "Bringing Up Baby" (1938), directed by Howard Hawks.
