Curiosità

Gang War is a 1928 American sound part-talkie gangster film directed by Bert Glennon, best known for being the main feature attached to Steamboat Willie, the debut of Mickey Mouse in sound. In addition to sequences with audible dialogue or talking sequences, the film features a synchronized musical score and sound effects along with English intertitles. The soundtrack was recorded using the RCA Photophone sound-on-film system. Despite the synchronised sound as well as the all-star cast, the film is largely unknown in its own right. One reel of an original 35mm positive print of nitrate film survives at the BFI film archive. The rest of the film appears to be lost.

Production

Gang War was produced in black and white on Academy ratio 35 mm film, and was originally to be a synchronized sound film without audible dialogue. In order to be able to advertise the film as a talkie, a spoken prologue was added, in which a group of reporters (including one played by Mabel Albertson) discuss the events that are to come.
