The Ghost Talks is a 1929 American sound (All-Talking) comedy film directed by Lewis Seiler based on a Max Marcin and Edward Hammond's Broadway play. Actor Stepin Fetchit played a character named "Christopher Lee" in this early talkie. Because not all theaters had been converted to sound, it was also released as a silent film. Despite the title, there are no ghosts in the film.
According to the New York Times review, this was the second all-talking feature from Fox Films, featuring various plot devices, like a lisping heroine, to show off its Movietone sound system. This film is regarded as lost.
