Movie Reviews of The Charlie Chaplin Collection
Movie Review: The ULTIMATE Chaplin Collection!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
First of all,let me just notify you that this review refers to the 8-disc box set that I bought recently at Sam's Club that was produced by Platinum Disc Corporation and not the Delta/Laserlight release of "The Essential Charlie Chaplin" box set!!! Platinum's version of the Chaplin films is perhaps the best collection yet and is definitely well worth the money!! There are 58 short films in this set,two of which are features (THE KID (1921) and TILLIE'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE (1914) which,by the way,is the 50's reissue print marred by a narrator!).Besides those two films,there is also a huge collection of Chaplin's short films made by Keystone,Essanay,and Mutual that includes such classics as his debut film MAKING A LIVING (1914),ONE A.M. (1916),THE IMMIGRANT (1917),THE TRAMP (1915),and many more to name those few!!! All of the films are presented in their entirety and contain appropriately scored music (mostly piano/orchestral combos) and on one of the shorts,Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" is heard throughout which is pretty cool!!! At the beginning of each DVD,there is a disclaimer saying that they did their absolute best digitally remastering these films from the best availible sources as well!!! I really love this collection of Chaplin's shorts and films and that it's a major improvement from the Madacy 2-disc "Chaplin Collection" set.I would advise you to go to your local Sam's Club store and buy this set and you will not be dissapointed!!! Thank you Platinum for putting together a great set of Chaplin comedies that you won't find anywhere else!! Now there's a company that definitely cares about quality on their customers!!! Also,see my review for Madacy's THE CHAPLIN COLLECTION set.
