I know this may not be at the top of anyone's list but mine ...

I saw this when checking out my wish list at DDD and it showed up at the top of the price-sorted list:

I remember seeing this on PBS years ago. For anyone interested in Chaplin, silent films, or film history in general, I think it's a bargain at this price (list on A&E's site is $24.95). I've read a couple of reviews that indicate the image quality is not stellar, but again, it's $4.98 for 160+ minutes of material from Brownlow and Gill.

Thanks. Looked on Amazon and all 11 reviewers give it 5 stars not sure if its for the Dvd as they refer to VHS. Its 23.70 there for the Dvd.

Oh, it OOS at DDD so it might take awhile to get it.

jimbeam

Thanks. Looks like a good use of $5.

I don't think it's really OOS. It said that when I ordered it, then two days later I got an email saying it shipped. My original receipt from them said it was a pre-order, which it's obviously not. I ordered it on the first day of the DDD A&E sale.

So anyway, anyone hesitating to buy because it's OOS, I'd definitely take the chance.

In, thx.

Thanks for finding the deal. My order has been placed!

This is a great deal. For anyone out there who's on the fence, let me just say that this DVD turned me from a casual Chaplin fan to a fanatic. I have no regrets about paying full price for it to replace my old VHS set, so at $5 it's an absolute steal.

Spiral Staircase

Thanks for the tip. This is the last Chaplin related DVD that I needed.

I think this was mentioned in another DDD thread, but at this price is a steal. i ordered it 2 weeks ago and it shipped today. Must buy for Chaplin fans.

Thanks so much. I have heard nothing but stellar things about this doc, but only now could truly enthusastically pull the trigger. Looking very forward to it!

Premise

It says they're sold out, and it will ship when they get more in. Is this something they will restock?

HE Pennypacker

Is this 'unknown' part of a larger series? I have an Unknown Marx Bros. disc as well.

It's part of a trilogy of docs that Kevin Brownlow and David Gill made back in the '80s. The other parts are 'Buster Keaton: A Hard Act to Follow' and 'Harold Lloyd: The Third Genius'.

All are highly recommended.

Thanks, OP.

marty888

Thanks - definitely a great deal!

Cosmic Bus

Is the Harold Lloyd one available on DVD? I'd love to see it.

Ashirg

Harold Lloyd doc is not on DVD, but Buster Keaton doc is available in U.K.

MrE

Thanks OP. Got my shipping notice for the Chaplin today so it was a fast re-stock.

docdoowop

I think you might have a problem: I got mine over a week ago and it took about a week in transit (IL to NY).

savemefromtears

i'm assuming the price went back up cus its $14 something....

FeelingGreat

at $14, DDD can keep this DVD.............no sale

kingtopher

It's worth way more than that in terms of value to a Chaplin fan.
