The added sound contributes to the ambiance, but my understanding is that the first actual movie w/ sound was made in 1927.
Indeed. Kind of ruined it for me, like a cheesy laughtrack.
Yes, the sound bothered me too, so I turned it down. But, I don’t like them colorizing old movies, either...
That was the first commercially-released major motion picture with sound, but people were syncing sound to film for decades before that.
