Synopsis: From out of the chaos of an American film industry struggling to reinvent itself at the dawn of sound comes Rouben Mamoulian's APPLAUSE, one of the most audacious and assured directorial debuts this side of Welles' KANE. Plucked from Broadway by nervous Paramount execs, theatre director Mamoulian shattered the oppressive technical limitations imposed by early sound recording and shocked his bosses by transforming a backstage melodrama into a stunning cinematic masterpiece. Film historian William K. Everson declared APPLAUSE "an oasis of filmic sophistication in a desert of stage-bound early talkies."
