On the 6th in 1927, The Jazz Singer, the first major feature-length ‘talkie’ movie starring Al ‘You ain’t heard nothing yet’ Jolson was released.

The movie was based on Samson Raphaelson’s play ‘A Day of Atonement’.
Clément-Maurice Gratioulet and Henri Lioret of France produced the first talkies, which were shown in 1900 at the Paris Exposition. They consisted of short films of the theater, opera, and ballet.
