Adapted from the 1952 film of the same name, the story is set in Hollywood in the waning days of thesilent film era. It focuses on romantic lead Don Lockwood, his sidekick Cosmo Brown, aspiring actressKathy Seldon and Lockwood's leading lady Lina Lamont, whose less than dulcet vocal tones do not lendthemselves to talking pictures. After the success of the first "talkie", "The JazzSinger" the head of thestudio, R.E Simpson decided he has no choice but to jump on the bandwagon with mixed results .
