Wiki.
The Shakedown is an American sound part-talkie pre-Code 1929 action, comedy and sports drama film directed by William Wyler and starring James Murray, Barbara Kent and Jack Hanlon.
This sound film was released in two verisons a part-talking version for English speaking audiences and a Synchronized version for non-English speaking audiences. The International Sound Version survives in an Italian archive with the original synchronized soundtrack. This print of the The Shakedown was converted into a silent version by the staff of the George Eastman House in 1998 and released on Blu-ray without the original soundtrack. The original part-talkie version appears to be lost.
