I was surprised at the quality of the reproduction of the Chaplin films. I have some VHS tapes of Eisenstein movies (Ivan and Battleship Potemkin) which are so faded and blotchy that they are difficult to watch--and the subtitles are prectically illegible. But this DVD, though it suffers some of the ill effects of age and of the primitive technology of the original celluloid, is remarkably clean and clear. The comics of that age indeed represented a golden age of comedy, one that is not even approached by modern cinematic and television humorists. And Chaplin is one of the greatest. This DVD was well worth the cost.
i wasn't expecting to find anything so complete. hours and hours of enjoyment. also educational. it was actually a gift for someone- people really dont care if something has a celophane wrapper on it, they appreciate that it was something they wanted and that some thought went into it. disc was in fine cond.
Terrible film quality some movies cut off half way through. This os an awful product Buyer Beware

I would have given the DVD an excellent, but it sadly did not include one of Charlie's biggest hits, the Gold Rush or the Great Dictator, but it does include alot of early footage, very rare! Great collection, 14,000+ would recommend for anyone who appreciates the art of silent films or the art of the great Charlie Chaplin.
The video collection is great value for the money. While it didn't include many big featured films from Charlie Chaplin, it has many of his older silent films, which are fun to watch and relatively short.
