1928 film

The Blue Danube is a 1928 American silent romantic drama film starring Leatrice Joy. Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. This picture was produced by Cecil B. DeMille and directed by Paul Sloane with a distribution through Pathé Exchange.[1][2]
