The 1920s was a time of great change in Hollywood. This program tells the story of the advent of sound technology for movies and the emergence of 'talkies' and musicals in Hollywood. While audiences cried out for more, the movie industry struggled to adapt to the strange new technology. The result was an explosion of movie musicals by the end of the decade. Along with Al Jolson and the breakthrough part-sound feature, The Jazz Singer, this episode features clips from early sound experiments, the first musical shorts, examples of dance in silent film, plus the first singing cartoons. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHighlights include profiles of ground breaking artists such as Eddie Cantor, The Marx Brothers, Rudy Vallee, Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald... The influence of showman Florenz Ziegfeld on Broadway and in Hollywood and how Broadway productions revolutionized movie musicals... The emergence of filmed operettas such as The Desert Song and Rio Rita... The great success of Broadway Melody which won the Academy Award for Best Picture and became a template for many of the movie musicals which were to follow... and much more. Fascinating film clips are interspersed with fresh new commentary by Leslie Caron, Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine, Carol Charming, Fayard Nicholas, Ian Whitcomb, Joel Grey, Rob Marshall, Rhonda Fleming, Robert Morse, Betty Garrett, Robert Osborne, Rose Marie, Gloria Stuart, A.C. Lyles as well as rare archival interviews with Rudy Vallee and Anita Page. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Great Musical Treasures","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":46944118407446,"sku":"68553","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/products\/20197514315379scan.jpg?v=1700698510","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/hollywood-singing-and-dancing-the-1920s","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
