" Uncle Tom's Cabin is a 1927 American synchronized sound, drama film directed by Harry A. Pollard and released by Universal Pictures . While the film has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using the Western Electric sound-on-film process. The film is based on the 1852 anti-slavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe and was the last version filmed without audible dialogue.

“In this version, all the major slave roles, with the exception of Uncle Tom himself, were portrayed by white actors. Actress Mona Ray played the slave Topsy in blackface while the slaves Eliza, George, Cassie and Harry were all presented as having very light skin coloring because of mixed-race heritage.
