Lights Of New York (Movie) 1928
The First Ever "Talkie" - the first all-talking full-length feature film, released by Warner Bros. in July of 1928.
Lights Of New York - Starring Helene Costello, Cullen Landis, Wheeler Oakman and Eugene Pallette.
A chorus girl gets mixed up with gangsters. A man is framed for the murder of a crime boss. This film made history as the first all-talking motion picture.
When bootleggers Jake Jackson (Walter Percival) and Dan Dickson (Jere Delaney), who have been hiding out in a small upstate New York town, learn that they finally can return to New York City, they try to convince a young kid named Eddie Morgan (Cullen Landis) and his friend, a local barber named Gene (Eugene Palette) to come with them.
With a promise from Jackson and Dickson that they will help the young men establish a barbershop in the city, Eddie asks his mother, Mrs. Morgan (Mary Carr), who owns the town's Morgan Hotel, to loan them $5,000 of her savings. Eddie and Gene set up the barbershop in New York City but soon learn that it is merely a front for a speakeasy.
Lights of New York is a 1928 American crime drama film starring Helene Costello, Cullen Landis, Wheeler Oakman and Eugene Pallette, and directed by Bryan Foy. Filmed in the Vitaphone sound-on-disc sound system, it is the first all-talking full-length feature film, released by Warner Bros., who had introduced the first feature-length film with synchronized sound Don Juan two years earlier, and the first with spoken dialogue, The Jazz Singer, one year earlier. The film, which cost $23,000 to produce ("B" picture), grossed over $1 million. The enthusiasm with which audiences greeted the talkies was so great that by the end of 1929, Hollywood was producing sound films exclusively.
