"The Jazz Singer", released in 1927, was the first feature-length movie to present audible dialog to audiences. It used a disk recording that was (more or less) synchronized with the film, but was not actually recorded on the film.

The Jazz Singer was a transitional effort to provide pre-recorded sound with a movie. Dialog was still shown on title cards, but Jolson's musical numbers were presented in sound. The first movie to have a complete dialog sound track was "Lights of New York", released in 1928.

History was made in New York on October 6th, 1927 when the very first spoken voice in a feature film was heard. The voice belonged to Al Jolson and the ground breaking movie - The Jazz Singer. The reaction by the theatre audience was immediate - they rose to their feet, applauding ecstatically. The moment came in the middle of the film when, during a nightclub scene, Jolson suddenly spoke. The first words ever spoken in a movie were, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet!" The words were truly prophetic in light of the massive advances taken in the realms of movie sound since that time.
