Webinar:Revisiting The Lights of New York, with Peter Krausz

About
Al Jolson’s smash hit The Jazz Singer (1927), a silent film with synchronised songs and dialogue in isolated sequences, heralded the commercial ascendance of sound film. The Lights of New York (1928) was the first “all talking” full length feature film. Friends member and film critic Peter Krausz will discuss the film’s background, filming process, audience and critic response, significance and film industry response.Date
