Sally, 1929

Sally is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) Pre-Code film. It is the fourth all-sound, all-color feature film made, and it was photographed in the Technicolor process. It was the sixth feature film to contain color that had been released by Warner Bros.; the first five were The Desert Song (1929), On with the Show! (1929), Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929), Paris (1929) and The Show of Shows (1929). (Song of the West was completed by June 1929, but had its release delayed until March 1930). Although exhibited in a few theaters in December 1929, Sally entered general release on January 12, 1930.

Although never technically a lost film, Sally was unavailable for public viewing for nearly six decades. It was not until around 1990 that the film became available for archival and revival screenings. However, the film survives only in black and white with a 21⁄2-minute color segment from the “Wild Rose” musical number, which was discovered in the 1990s.
