Our Talkie Bracelet is based on the first UK talking feature narrative...
After sound became available, Hitchcock re-shot scenes of his originally silent film Blackmail (1929) to release it in British cinemas as the UK’s first talkie. It is also the first known case of one actress’ voice being dubbed by another. This was because leading lady Anny Ondra had such a thick Czech accent, unsuitable for her character, so Joan Barry was chosen to stand just out of shot and read the lines into a microphone whilst Ondra mouthed them on the camera.
