What happens

The Sophomore is a 1929 American sound all-talking pre-Code comedy film directed by Leo McCarey and starring Eddie Quillan, Sally O'Neil, and Jeanette Loff. Made during the early sound era, it was shot using the RCA Photophone sound system. The film survives in an mute print of the alternate sound version known as an International Sound Version which was meant to be played along with Vitaphone discs. It is not known whether the Vitaphone type soundtrack discs to the International Sound Version are extant. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
