- One in a series of one-reel subjects in the all-industry public relation series, "The Movies and You," this highly entertaining featurette skillfully combines presentation of mechanical details with a history of sound and clips from earlier films. It goes into mechanical techniques and offers examples of actual shooting on set and location. Articles have been written about the techniques of film production, including sound, but none of them has ever presented so clearly and interestingly the manifold problems of the sound man as does the film. The combined presentation of mechanical details with a history of sound and clips from earlier films could hardly have been handled more skillfully.
- Traces the history of sound in movies, from the days of piano accompaniment in a theater to modern elaborate equipment. Shows how the studios file their many sound effects, and haul them out for consideration and use whenever the need arises.
- This short on movie sound men starts with a short history of sound in the movies. We then see how the different jobs in the sound department contribute to the finished film. They start with the technicians, who record the original sounds, and end with the re-recording mixer who takes several different tracks and blends them into a single soundtrack.—David Glagovsky <dglagovsky@prodigy.net>
