Moulin Rouge is a 1928 British synchronized sound drama film directed by Ewald André Dupont and starring Olga Chekhova, Eve Gray and Jean Bradin. Due to the popularity of sound films, the American film company Sono Art-World Wide Pictures collaborated with B.I.P. to produce a sound version of the film for cinemas wired for sound. They recorded the soundtrack using the RCA Photophone sound system. While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The film is set in and around the Moulin Rouge cabaret in Paris.
