  • Well, technically, it's not talking... it's laughing. And it's not them laughing, but somebody else's voices. But this clip from their first sound-on-disc film, "We Faw Down", shows some imaginative early use of sound in a "silent" movie.

      True and many silent films actors/actresses became less popular when talkies started taking over, because their real voice didn't seem to match with how people had imagined their characters to sound like in the silent film era. Laurel and Hardy were perfect

    Several of their last "silent" shorts were also distributed with "synchronized" music and sound effects, via the Victor "sound-on-disc" method. The first "all-talkie" short was "Unaccustomed As We Are" (1929).

      @@eggbertinkabod1121 So what? It's the difference between accuracy and misrepresentation. The word "Talkie" means exactly that, synchronized dialogue. This would be more accurately referred to as a "sound film" much like Warner's DON JUAN. It too had synchronized music and sound effects but was NOT a "talkie." That was set afterward by THE JAZZ SINGER, which while a hybrid silent film with synchronized music and sound effects also had talking and singing sequences..

    Unaccustomed as we Are was originally a silent movie, but was also made with limited sound versions. In 1929, there were only two other movies made that way; Men of War, and the Perfect Day. Years ago, in the 1980s, I only saw, just ONE time, the silent version of Men of War, and I liked it better than the talkie version. It was shown on TV, on channel 28.

    Sound, yes. “Talkie,” no. This is an example of what the industry referred to as “goat gland” pictures-films with music, sound effects and/or limited dialogue, as opposed to “all-talking.” MGM in particular was very cautious about sound, and tested the waters with films like this.
