The Chaplin Collection, Vol. 1 (Modern Times / The Great Dictator / The Gold Rush / Limelight) Reviews

I would rate Modern Times, The Gold Rush and the Great Dictator as the best of this first volume release. There are many detractors of Limelight, and its certainly not his best work, but it is a must have for fans and completists. The restoration work is outstanding and the extras are top notch. Do yourself a favour and purchase the collection, its cheaper than buying the single titles.

A must have for any serious DVD collector, cinemafile or Chaplin fan....we've waited a long time for this! Don't miss out on the opportunity to share this collection with a new generation of Chaplin fanatics! A top pick for classic re-release on DVD for 2003....enjoy!!

Rating: 5 - What a Super Box Set!
This is an unbeliebaly good DVD box set. The image is the best I've seen on all four films. The sound quality is great. There's not much need be said, but the "Gold Rush" DVD in this set actually has the original 1925 silent version without the 1941 Chaplin overdubbing that is a real gem to fans.
Buy this collection. You won't be sorry! I highly recommend it. I only wish the set would have contained "City Lights" as opposed to "Limelight", and then it would been 100% perfect, but oh well. It's still pretty amazing!
