A silent version was also released, as many cinemas hadn't yet acquired sound equipment in 1929.

This movie was MGM's first all-talking picture, and the first sound film to win the Best Picture Oscar.

Yesterday at #Capitolfest we saw BROADWAY (1929) which was an early Universal talkie, similar to #TheBroadwayMelody and THE SHOW OF SHOWS from Warners.
Except BROADWAY was a hot mess of a movie. But it did have a color sequence at the end for The Big Number. #TCMParty www.imdb.com/title/tt0019...

The Warbling Gladiator was MGM's response to The Singing Cavalier, the box office smash released by Monumental Pictures the year before.
Critics noted the similarities. Observed Mordaunt Hall of the NYT: "Making love to a bush is one thing; fucking it is another."
