Edison talking movie of 1910

Post by A Ford 1 »

Hi All,
I think I recall seeing something on the 1910 Edison talking movies of 1910 that used records as the sound source in these pages. I tried to search for it with no success. I would like to buy the DVD that was available if possible. can any one help me find these DVDies.

Here's a link to that DVD set on Amazon.

It's called "The Kinetophone: A Fact! A Reality!"

I have this DVD and it's very interesting!
The added material describes the Smithsonian's efforts in combining the films and soundtracks and is just as interesting as the films themselves.
