Every now and again, I like to post quizzes so that my readers can test their silent movie knowledge. And win prizes! Like this beautiful GIF!
Today, I’m going to be sharing some oldie-but-goodie quizzes. Longtime readers will recognize them but newcomers should find something to enjoy. Just click the button and the quiz should display as a popup. If it doesn’t, I will provide links to posts with the quiz embedded. Enjoy!

I did so well on the beginner’s quiz that I took the intermediate quiz, and bombed badly. 😛 Oh, well! Thanks for the fun and educational post!
Glad you enjoyed!
I’m a sucker for trivia, thanks! I only got one wrong on the “beginner” quiz and that was the one about frame rates. I put “I don’t know” because I refuse to express an opinion about frame rates. I did pretty bad on “Intermediate” (45%), probably because so many questions were about the later silent period, but I made up ground on “Ripoff” – 80%, which seems respectable considering that the questions are all over the place.
🙂
I got a 90% on the beginner quiz, which is probably a little too high for where I should be, but I’ll take it. Thanks as always for the fun!
Yes, take it 🙂
I got 90% o. The first but sucked badly with the next 2…I got a miserable 30%. This confirms to me that you should write a book.

Ooh I’d never heard that the Jazz Singer wasn’t the first talkie – off to investigate!
Yes, it was the film that popularized sound but synchronized had been experimented with almost since the beginning of film.
Beginner 100% / Intermediate 70% / Ripoff 50%. Do I graduate, or do I have to attend summer classes (boo!) ?
Well, since you have an advanced degree is Griffith baloney detection, I’d say you’re just fine 🙂
