		None of this kept the Hollywood studios from exploiting the novelty of sound musicals, and they acquired and filmed an enormous amount of material from 1927 to 1932.
		Unfortunately, Hollywood glutted the market with an inferior product and by the early '30s, audiences were turned off by the technical limitations of the film musical.
		Hollywood soon relied on its own stable of songwriters, many of whom wrote some of this country's most immortal songs.

	Hollywood Revue of 1929
		As an example of what the talking film has done to the legitimate theatre, this Hollywood Revue is pretty nearly the last word.
		Jack Benny is wry and relatively "Modern" (an issue that comes up relatively often in the proceedings) as the MC of the show, and he's assisted occasionally by Conrad Nagel, who gets to suavely announce a few acts and sing, suavely, to Anita Page.
		An example is the often interminable gap between scenes while we watch the curtain close and wait for the next act to appear.

		Called an “All-Star Musical Extravaganza,” the film includes bizarre performances by once and future stars, including Joan Crawford singing and dancing on stage.
		The film has more in common with mid-20th century television variety shows[?] than with later movie musicals.
		Nevertheless, The Hollywood Review of 1929 offers some interesting insights into the decline of the great stars of silent movies and a glimpse at the early careers of some of the major figures of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

		Because the colorful, witty film is set in 1927, it humorously satirizes and parodies the panic surrounding the troubling transitional period from silents to talkies in the dream factory of Hollywood of the late 1920s as the sound revolution swept through.
		The plot of the film is actually an autobiography of Hollywood itself at the dawn of the talkies.

		MGM's entry in this all-star genre was Hollywood Revue of 1929, which, though a box-office smash and a "Best Picture" Oscar nominee, is an absolutely deadly experience when seen today.
		At that, these scenes are easier to digest than the wretched sentimental ballad Your Mother and Mine, performed ad nauseum by the otherwise reliable Charles King, and the overproduced and under-rehearsed Orange Blossom finale (also in color).
		Long available only in its 82-minute TV release version, Hollywood Revue of 1929 was restored to nearly its original 125-minute length in the 1970s; the film is worth seeing once for historical purposes, but is hardly a "keeper," even for the most diligent of video collectors.

	Hollywood Review of 1929
		The All-Star Musical Extravaganza was a popular but short-lived genre which basically amounted to a vaudeville revue on film, often featuring the singing and dancing talents of former silent stars who had never sung or danced before in their lives.
		Too often, however, the results were along the lines of THE HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929.
		Rather than take full advantage of the new medium as KING OF JAZZ did, HOLLYWOOD REVUE was little more than a case of pointing a largely immobile camera in the general direction of some out-of-their-element performers and actors who should have known better.

		Barbra Streisand had been an established star for a full decade before attaining her first #1 hit with the title song from the film The Way We Were.
		Spearheaded by the creations of songwriters Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown, the studio began to release primitive musicals, marked by the fact that they had no plot to speak of and an abundance of musical numbers.
		The most popular was The Hollywood Revue Of 1929, in which Cliff Edwards, the future voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio, performed the hit "Singin' In The Rain."

		As well as being a hit for all concerned, including its stars, Judy Garlandand Mickey Rooney, the latter picture was significant in that it marked the beginning of Arthur Freed's second career, that of a producer.
		These were all written for various films before Freed devoted himself to producing, although several of their most popular numbers were reprised in SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN (1951), including the title song which was originally introduced in HOLLYWOOD REVUE OF 1929.
