THE SPEED OF SOUND Hollywood and the Talkie Revolution, 1926-1930

by Scott Eyman | Read by Adams Morgan

History • 15 hrs. • Unabridged • © 1997

In this “techno-history,” Eyman discusses how the advent of sound revolutionized the film industry. Much film writing is either sappy or esoteric, but this book is accessible, well written, humorous and informed. Adams Morgan does a serviceable job but is hampered by the dull, muffled audio.
