Under Iris Barry’s “Musical-Talkie” category, she writes, “The Love Parade is a picture of considerable importance in the history of the development of the sound film. Technically it was both visually and audibly far ahead of most of its contemporaries—the camera moves freely, whereas in the majority of 1929 films it was still anchored inside a sound-proof booth….”

This film accompanies Modern Matinees: Iris Barry’s History of Film.
