The Dizzy Diver (1928)
Politically, the first comedy sound film is making movie history. Confidentially, 'tis a pain in the neck. Billy Dooley gives a fairly accurate characterization of Billy Dooley imitating a sap sailor who tries to dust the ocean on scrub day. Everyone throws chocolate pudding, as usual, but the gooey sounds are frightfully artificial, and occur at just the wrong places. Orchestras can't make noises like chocolate puddings. All you need is the can-opener!
