The Jazz Singer
Today I had me a double feature with "The Artist"
and the first talkie ever (this movie).
Pretty good double feature.
I bought The Artist (my number 4 favorite film last year)
and wanted to do this double feature for a while.
This movie had an okay story.
Some good musical numbers but this isn't a musical.
About half of it was a silent movie and the other half
is a talkie.
It feels good to see very old movies like these.
It's film history.
The main character paints his face to play a black person
towards the end. I bet that was controversial for
some people.
Some of the shots on here are famous clips used
in other movies and in history books.
There's no trailer to this movie found on YouTube
but here's a clip:
