Taxi 13 is a 1928 sound part-talkie film comedy produced and distributed by Film Booking Offices of America and directed by Marshall Neilan. 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 soundtrack was recorded using the RCA Photophone sound-on-film system. The film stars Chester Conklin in what is FBO's first film with a pre-recorded soundtrack.[1]
Once thought lost, a copy evidently survives at Cineteca Nazionale, Rome.[2]
A review in Harrison's Reports said, "This is neither funny enojugh to be called a comedy nor serious enough to be called a drama.'[3] Despite a few good points, it added, "But on the whole it is not a particularly good picture".[3]
