The Transition to Sound, 1928 and 1929

American films made in the years when synchronised music and dialogue arrived, including part-talkies, films released with synchronised scores and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's first sound musical, The Broadway Melody. A work belongs here when its article describes it as a part-talkie, a synchronised-score release or an early sound film. Works are placed by what their cited article states about their country, form and period, and each work sits in exactly one group of this subcategory, so a film that fits two traditions goes where its article places it first.
