#OTD in 1927, Warner Bros. released The Jazz Singer, the first film with spoken dialogue. Still mostly silent, only about 300-350 spoken words total in a few scenes, along with a few songs. Some racist trash typical of the era, but the art of cinema went from silence to sound and never looked back.
