English Intertitles
Alf's Carpet is a 1929 sound part-talkie British comedy film directed by W. P. Kellino and starring Gerald Rawlinson, Gladys Hamer, Harald Madsen and Carl Schenstrøm. In addition to sequences with audible dialogue or talking sequences, the film features a synchronized musical score and sound effects along with English intertitles. The film was loosely based on the 1920 novel Alf's Button by W.A. Darlington. It is also known by the alternative title The Rocket Bus.
Production
The film was made by British International Pictures at Elstree Studios. It was originally intended as a synchronized film with a musical score and sound effects, but as British studios switched talking pictures, portions of the film were re-shot with dialogue.
