 This 1929 early sound film, starring Helen Morgan, marked the motion picture directorial debut of Russian-born Rouben Mamoulian. In the new era of the “talkie,” it was the first film ever to be made in a two-channel monophonic mix and is credited as a giant step forward in motion picture sound technique. The evening will commence with a completely restored Vitaphone short, The Gigolo Racket, also starring Morgan. |
