The Jazz Singer is a 1927 American part-talkie musical drama
film
directed by Alan Crosland and produced by Warner Bros.
Pictures. It is the first
feature-length motion picture with both synchronized recorded music and lip-synchronous singing
and speech (in several isolated sequences).

Its release heralded the commercial ascendance of sound
films
and effectively marked the end of the silent film era
with the
Vitaphone sound-on-disc system.
