| When was the first motion picture with sound? |
Vitaphone, as this system was now called, was publicly
introduced on August 6, 1926, with the premiere of the nearly three-hour-long
Don Juan; the first feature-length movie to employ a synchronized sound system
of any type throughout, its soundtrack contained a musical score and added
sound effects, but no recorded dialogue—in other words, it had been staged
and shot as a silent film.
