Title: Give us the original !
Review: I was really looking forward to getting this, my favorite Chaplin movie, on DVD, but now I think have to get rid of it again, I'm afraid. The picture quality is nice enough for such an old film (hence the 2 stars), but unfortunately this is not the original version but the lame one Chaplin re-released. Here's what's wrong with it: Chaplin un-necessarily narrates the story, the ending is different, the titlecards are removed, or rather, it looks more like the picture was blown-up cropping the sides of the picture !. This is not the movie I love. Somebody apparently thought: "well, if Charlie himself changed it this must be the director's cut, therefore we'll release this version". How wrong they were. We want the superior, and longer, original silent version !. Chaplin fans rebel !.
