My Man (1928) is a black and white part-talkie American comedy-drama musical film from Warner Brothers Pictures starring Fannie Brice and Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams The tagline was "FANNIE BRICE (The Female Al Jolson) in the SINGING-TALKING VITAPHONE PICTURE "MY MAN"".

This was Fannie Brice's first ever movie at the age of 37. Before she made movies, she was a star in the Ziegfeld Follies. At the time this movie was made there were still some silent movies in production and being released. It would not be until 1929 for talking movies to take over, but Warner Brothers had completely stopped making silent movies and switched to sound pictures, either part talking or full talking. Warner Brothers would also start making movies in color as well as sound movies. ^[2]
