Important Added Info: Note that some enterprising person at MGM saw the value of "adding sound" to the movie in 1931, even though it was a silent movie. They did this by having the original composers compose a brand new musical score and adding sound effects at the appropriate points of the film. This "AT LAST IN SOUND" release occurred at the end of 1931, and into 1932. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
