Lights of New York (1928): The First All-Talking Feature Film
Released in 1928, 'Lights of New York' is a landmark in cinema history as the first feature-length film with all-talking synchronized sound. Directed by Bryan Foy and produced by Warner Bros., the movie bridged the gap between the silent era and the sound era. The film tells a classic Prohibition-era crime melodrama. It follows two young barbers from upstate New York who move to the big city, only to be unwittingly snared in the illicit operations of a ruthless bootlegging gang.
