Editing Revue (section)

== Film revues ==
With the introduction of talking pictures, in 1927, studios immediately began filming acts from the stage. Such film shorts gradually replaced the live entertainment that had often accompanied cinema exhibition. By 1928, studios began planning to film feature-length versions of popular musicals and revues from the stage. The lavish films, noted by many for a sustained opulence unrivaled in Hollywood until the 1950s epics, reached a breadth of audience never found by the stage revue, all while significantly underpricing the now-faltering theatrical shows. A number of revues were released by the studios, many of which were filmed entirely (or partly) in color. The most notable examples of these are ''[[The Show of Shows (film)|The Show of Shows]]'' ([[Warner Bros.|Warner Brothers]], 1929), ''[[The Hollywood Revue of 1929]]'' ([[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]], 1929), ''[[Fox Movietone Follies of 1929]]'' ([[20th Century Fox|Fox Film Corporation]], 1929), ''[[Paramount on Parade]]'' ([[Paramount Pictures|Paramount]], 1930), ''[[New Movietone Follies of 1930]]'' (Fox, 1930), and ''[[King of Jazz]]'' ([[Universal Pictures|Universal]], 1930). Even Britain jumped on the bandwagon and produced expensive revues such as ''[[Harmony Heaven]]'' ([[Associated British Picture Corporation|British International Pictures]], 1929), ''[[Elstree Calling]]'' (BIP, 1930), and ''The Musical Revue Of 1959'' (BI
P, 1960).
