The "Once Upon A Time" episode of The Twilight Zone (1959)?
I dont know much about this movie except for a few details and points. It starts off as a silent film, and the protagonist steps into a time machine and accidentally travels into what looks like either the 30's or the 40's. Also the movie transitions from a silent film to actually having sound. After a few minutes of culture shock, he meets another character and explains that he's from the past, initially disbelieving him, he asks the protagonist to prove it by asking him who the U.S president is in his time. I don't know much else other than another detail which was during the silent film portion the protagonist mutters in disbelief as he sees the price of a steak in a store.
