When did sound appear in films?

The first feature-length movie originally presented as a talkie was The Jazz Singer, released in October 1927. Though the film was primarily a silent with a few talking sequences, it was nevertheless a tremendous success. Short talkies had been produced and shown throughout the 1920s. The idea of adding sound to film was not even new then. William Dickson, a technician at Thomas Edison's laboratory, had recorded a violinist on a gramaphone cylinder and filmed him as early as 1894 or 1895. When the cylinder and film were played together, as was intended, it could be considered the first "talkie." Numerous problems, however, such as how to make sure sound and image were synchronized correctly with each and every viewing, delayed the development of sound film for some time.

What was the name of the first talking movie released in the 20th century?

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.
