Sally (1929) is the third all talking all-color feature movie ever made. It was based on the Broadway stage hit, Sally, produced by Florenz Ziegfeld (which played at The New Amsterdam Theatre, from 12/21/1920 to 4/22/1922),[1] and retains three of the stage production’s Jerome Kern songs (“Look for the Silver Lining”, “Sally”, and “Wild Rose”), the rest of the music newly written for the film by Al Dubin and Joe Burke. Marilyn Miller, who had played the leading part in the Broadway production, was hired by the Warner Brothers at an extravagant sum (reportedly $1000 an hour for a total of $100,000) to star in the filmed version. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction by Jack Okey in 1930.
