talkie

One of the few silent movie stars to transition successfully to the "talkies", Garbo moved away from Hollywood to New York, where she lived until her death in 1990 at the age of 84.

Filmed in silvery black-and-white, shot on sound stages and acted with a knowing theatricality, “Grand Tour” plays like a lost early talkie that’s been rescued from some dusty vault.

On the screen, boxing stories — dramas and comedies — go back before talkies.

“Ramona” is often referenced as one of the great films of the silent era, but, as with many other early Hollywood players, the talkies took Carewe out of the game.

This musical focuses on a moment in Hollywood when actors, directors and producers were shifting away from silent movies to “talkies.”
