# Black Waters (1929)

1929 · Drama, Comedy · United Kingdom, United States


## Synopsis

Black Waters is a 1929 British/American horror all-talking sound film produced by Herbert Wilcox and directed by Marshall Neilan. It was the first British-produced talking picture ever shown in England, but it was actually made in Hollywood since that is where the needed sound equipment was at that time. The American film company Sono Art-World Wide Pictures collaborated with British & Dominions Film Corporation to produce the sound film. They recorded the soundtrack using the RCA Photophone sound system. Wilcox sent Neilan to the U.S. to film the picture there, using a mostly American cast and crew.
