N2  - Many believe Max Steiner's score for 'King Kong' (1933) was the first important attempt at integrating background music into sound film, but a closer look at the industry's early sound era (1926-1934) reveals a more extended and fascinating story. Viewing more than two hundred films from the period. Michael Slowik launches a comprehensive study of a long-neglected phase in Hollywood's initial development, recasting the history of film sound and its relationship to the 'Golden Age' of film music (1935-1950)
