The Three Masks

The Three Masks is a 1929 French film directed by André Hugon and starring Renée Héribel, Jean Toulout and François Rozet. Produced by Pathé the film is considered to be a candidate for France's first talking picture, but was made in Britain. As no French studio had yet been converted for sound, it was shot at Twickenham Studios in London. The first talking picture produced in France is probably Pierre Colombier's Chiqué, although The Queen's Necklace produced by Pathe's rival Gaumont is also considered a contender.
