Contents: A Dog’s Life (1918), The Bond (1918), Shoulder Arms (1918), How to Make Movies (1918), Sunnyside (1919), A Day’s Pleasure (1919), The Idle Class (1921), Pay Day (1922) and The Pilgrim (1923).

Our first look at the discs reveals the high quality one would expect from video transfers utilizing 35mm prints and negatives from Chaplin’s own film collection. The detail and grayscale ranges are consistently excellent.

The disc includes the option to view the films in the Chaplin Revue form that Chaplin assembled for release in 1959 (including Chaplin’s overview introduction) or as the individual films themselves — appealing to collectors who want the individual films presented as closely as possible to their original form.

The supplementary material includes the unreleased Chaplin film How to Make Movies, the war bond comedies The Bond and [Harry Lauder] (1918), outtakes from Shoulder Arms and Sunnyside, informal momento films, introductions by David Robinson, stills and posters galleries, and trailers.
