Released at the Grauman's Chinese Theatre on February 1, 1929.

This is the first sound film and musical to ever win an Academy Award, as my recreation includes the full opening theme and the recreated color sequence of "The Wedding of the Painted Doll" scene in the film using Photoshop's Neural Filters and Sony Movie Studio Platinum to recreated the 2-strip Technicolor feel.
