Take Me Home is a 1928 silent comedy produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed by Paramount Pictures. Due to the public apathy towards silent films, a sound version was also prepared. While the sound version has no audible dialog, it was released with a synchronized musical score with sound effects using both the sound-on-disc and sound-on-film process. The film was directed by Marshall Neilan and starred Bebe Daniels and Neil Hamilton.
