Moulin Rouge (1928 film)

Moulin Rouge is a 1928 British sound drama film directed by Ewald André Dupont and starring Olga Chekhova, Eve Gray and Jean Bradin.

While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process.

As he promised he would drive to his father's in the country and ask him to the wedding, he sabotages the brakes on the car.

They narrowly avoid a head-on collision and Andre turns around and pulls up beside Margaret, who can't stop her car.

Parysia receives a phone call from the hospital informing her that her daughter is critically injured.

The film featured a theme song entitled "My Wonderful Love" which was written by William Stone (composer) and Charles Wynn (lyricist).

Moulin Rouge was originally released in 1928 as a silent film with live musical accompaniment, running approximately 130 minutes.

The following year, it was edited and re-released with a synchronised score composed by John Reynders, which included various sound effects.

Reynder's 1929 score was repurposed for this version, but as it was considerably shorter, over 120 music edits were made in order for it to fit.
