https://xcdr.tv/videos/watch/f54d20f7-113c-4e3c-8528-5a61e308613f I've been researching newly public domain films from 1929 and earlier, so I'm uploading the best possible copies that I can find. The first full-length all-talking motion picture, Lights of New York was such a monumental box office smash that it essentially killed silent film overnight. It was created for about 23,000 dollars, but made over 1,250,000 by the end of its run. Contemporary and modern critics don't have much to say about the film besides as a curio, but it still is likely worth viewing for the impact that it made on the industry.
