Second edition of Richard Barrios' authoritative study of the origins of the movie musical in the 1920s and 1930s. The book clarifies much of the misperceptions about the 'birth of sound', examining the use of cinematic sound and music prior to 'The Jazz Singer' and tracing the development of the musical in relation to new audio technology, the influence of Broadway, and fashions in choreography and popular music.
