  • "Chronicling the early musical film years from 1926 to 1934, A Song in the Dark offers a fascinating look at these innovative films, the product of much of the major experimentation that went on during the development of sound technology. Illuminating the entire evolution of this new sound medium, Richard Barrios shows how Hollywood, seeking to outdo Broadway and vaudeville, recruited both the famous and the unknown, the newest stars and the has-beens, the geniuses and the hustlers. The results were unlike anything the world had seen or heard."
  • "Geïllustreerde geschiedenis van tachtig jaar Amerikaanse filmmusical."
  • "Drawing on meticulous research, sharp wit, and insightful analysis, Richard Barrios illuminates the origins of the movie musical. From Warner Bros. and Jolson, to the Oscar-winning 'Broadway Melody' and beyond, here is the whole funny and peculiar history of these films, their creators, and their audiences."
