Dr. Daniel Davis, a member of Harvard University’s Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations team, introduces this iconic film about the birth of “talking pictures” with some ear- and eye-popping demonstrations illustrating the physics of sound.

About the Film

Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor combine their talents in one of the greatest big-screen musicals ever made, a two-time Oscar nominee that includes the songs "Good Morning," "Make 'Em Laugh" and the iconic title tune.

When Hollywood attempts the transition from silent films to talkies, a matinee idol (Kelly) hopes to make the cut. But he's hampered by a silent-movie queen (Jean Hagen) with a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.
