    That was basically the premise for Singing in the Rain and that movie was absolutely excellent.

      Something tells me audiences in 1952 had slightly different tastes. Also the 1920s probably felt a lot more relevant; hardly anyone alive today remembers the silent-to-talkie transition, but it would have been an experience that many folks had personally witnessed back then.
