Sally is a 1929 American Pre-Code film. It is the fourth all talking all-color feature movie ever made and was photographed in the Technicolor process. It was the sixth feature movie to contain color that had been released by Warner Bros., the first five were The Desert Song (1929), On with the Show (1929), Gold Diggers of Broadway (1929), Paris (1929), and The Show of Shows (1929). (Song of the West was actually completed by June 1929 but had its release delayed until March 1930). Although exhibited in a few select theatres in December 1929, Sally only went into general release on January 12, 1930.
It was based on the Broadway stage hit, Sally, produced by Florenz Ziegfeld (which played at The New Amsterdam Theatre, from December 21, 1920 to April 22, 1922), and retains three of the stage production's Jerome Kern songs ("Look for the Silver Lining", "Sally", and "Wild Rose"), the rest of the music newly written for the film by Al Dubin and Joe Burke.
Marilyn Miller, who had played the leading part in the Broadway production, was hired by the Warner Brothers at an extravagant sum (reportedly $1000 an hour for a total of $100,000) to star in the filmed version. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Art Direction by Jack Okey in 1930.

Plot: A fantastical romantic comedy that takes you back to those childhood memories when, if you could just have stopped time for a few moments...oh wait....now you can... It's the annual school science fair. James has his eye on Sally. Sally just wants to win this year's science fair trophy. She's tried really hard with her Plant Growth experiment but nasty Mr Spencer crushes her attempts with a few cutting remarks. So it's a good thing that James' entry for this year is a time machine. He's able to stop time and help transform Sally from a shaky leaf into the blossoming rose she's meant to be. Much to the annoyance of Mr Spencer, especially when he has to award Sally with the trophy.

"Sally" Sung by James Melton From the All-Talking Picture "Sally" (1929)
stage star in jerome kern's "sally" norma jean baker was named marilyn after marilyn miller...
Jerome Kern and Buddy DeSylva's classic from the 1920 musical "Sally," shown here from the 1929 film version. Both productions featured Marilyn Miller, singing here with Alexander Gray.
With a clean-behind-the-ears demeanor similar to that of Richard Crooks, John Charles Thomas, or Nelson Eddy, concert and operatic tenor James Melton usually catered to what has been described as a "musically middlebrow audience," emitting romantic airs and popular ballads with sugary precision. He was born on January 2, 1904, in Moultrie, GA. His parents, who were both musicians, raised him in Citra, FL, where he handled melons and hogs. In 1920, he graduated from high school in Ocala, then attended a series of colleges in Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee. He received vocal instruction from Gaetano de Luca in Nashville from 1923 to 1927, then moved to New York where he studied with Beniamino Gigli's teacher, Enrico Rosati. Melton also dabbled in dance band activities, blowing saxophone in ...
Jonathan Cecil reads one of P.G Wodehouse's earliest novels, and the first to feature the New York dancer cum socialite Sally Nicholas.
Paul Shelley reads the short Wodehouse novel about Dr. Sally Smith (Not to be confused with the American dancer, Sally Nicholas from the earlier work 'The Adventures of Sally').
From the movie "Sally" [First National - 1929]
Words and music by Greg Hough
You remember Sally, used to be so happy
Walkin' down that street with a smile upon her face
Never had a worry, she never had a care
And when she came to see me she would brighten up my face
Sally was that kind of girl, sure would like to know
And everywhere that Sally went the lamb was sure to go
Somebody said they saw her on the other side of town
Said she was smokin' weed and drinkin', probably foolin' 'round
That's too bad about Sally because she was so nice
The next time that I see that girl, I'll give her my advice
Why would she want to run away from God and all His love
And go back in that world and live so hard and rough
You know that I don't feel too bad, Sally moved away
'Cause everytime I'd look at her she set my mind astray
Now Sally was that kind of girl, I wish that she was mine
Just to know that she was there, even that was fine
There's just one thing that I don't understand
And that's the part that's the part that's rough
Why would she want to run away from God and all His love
Repeat twice
