Silent films had universal appeal, simply by replacing intertitles and dialogue cards for the foreign markets. Sound film was experimented with in many forms since the 1890s, but did not become commercially successful until The Jazz Singer in 1927. Hollywood movie making was transformed and ultimately shattered, taking the careers of many silent film stars, directors and producers with it, victims of the emerging technology. Interviews include Lillian Gish, Mary Astor, Janet Gaynor, George Cukor and Frank Capra, Sr.

  • You're an absolute sweetheart to make this series available. Thank you so much.

  • This one episode out of 13 does a more detailed and artistic job of explaining the transition to sound than any one documentary that I've ever seen dedicated to the subject. Perhaps this is because so many of the people that it impacted were still alive to tell the tale. What a travesty the rights problems cannot be overcome with "Silent Hollywood" so that this can become available on DVD.

  • @thecollector1138 SURE IS!

    You're welcome, thank you for watching and have enjoyed it!

    Hugs from Brazil!

  • That ending sequence is one of the most bittersweet things I've seen. Thank you very much for posting these!
