Best Answer

The first commercially released feature film featuring synchronised sound (both music and dialogue) was "The Jazz Singer", starring Al Jolson, in 1927. There had been previous attempts to synchronise sound with moving pictures using a recording on a disc, in Paris in 1900, but this was not a very successful technology, as it was hard to match up the sound and image consistently. Some short films with synchronised sound were shown to audiences in New York from 1923, but most commentators agree that "The Jazz Singer" was the first successful full length talking movie.

The Jazz Singer (1927) was the first feature film with synchronized dialogue. Most of the film used instrumental music and sound effects with no sound for dialogue. However, Al Jolson's singing scenes and two scenes of dialogue used sound recorded on set.

Lights of New York (1928) was the first all-talking feature film.
