On with the Show! is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) pre-Code musical film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Filmed in two-color Technicolor, the film became the first all-talking, all-color feature-length film, and the second color film released by Warner Bros.; the first was the partly color musical The Desert Song (1929).
One reel of the 35mm color nitrate print of On With the Show exists at the BFI archive. Only black-and-white prints have survived from the remainder of the film. A fragment of an original color print lasting about 20 seconds surfaced in 2005. Other original color fragments were discovered in 2014. A copy of the black-and-white version has long been held by the Library of Congress. The film’s copyright expired on January 1, 2025, resulting in the film entering the public domain.
