'Don Juan' (1926) starring John Barrymore, was the first film with music and sound effects. It also holds the record for the most screen kisses - 127! The first all-sound film was 'The Jazz Singer' (1927) with Al Jolson. http://www.moviesunlimited.com/musite/frameset/index.asp?frame=product%2Easp and sku=122144 Apr 25 03, 12:28 PM

Al Jolson's 1927 film The Jazz Singer is usually identified as the first American motion picture to include sound. The first talking movie actually appeared four years earlier. It was advertised as a 'De Forest Phonofilm - it actually talks and reproduces music without use of a phonograph.' Sissle and Blake were the only black performers in the stellar vaudeville cast, which also included Weber and Fields, Eddie Cantor, and Phil Baker. The film premiered at the Rivoli Theater in New York City in April 1923, making Sissle and Blake the first black performers to appear in a 'talkie.' Blake made several more film appearances over the years. His last was in 'Scott Joplin', starring Billy Dee Williams, in 1976 - fifty-three years after his screen debut.' http://mmd.foxtail.com/Archives/Digests/200012/2000.12.08.04.html Apr 25 03, 12:38 PM
