Customer Reviews of The Artist In His Prime - 3 DVD Set - Starring Charlie Chaplin

koch- chaplin-artist in his prime 1918-1923-3 dvd set
the people at KOCHVISION may not be sticklers for accuracy, but this 3 dvd set is pretty good for the price. most of the films are good quality and the music is good too if you dont mind hearing the same music throughout all 3 discs. the big disapointment here is the GOLD RUSH, which is a copy of the later release which should have narration by chaplin, but does not. Buy that one from Image Entertainment & you will not be let down. This is not a collection for true Chaplin fans but it is a decent set for those who dont want to pay outrageous prices for the same movies, or to just watch an occasional chaplin film.

I am a major Chaplin fan
I was impressed with the picture quality overall, however what infuriated me was how the makers of this set made the claim that the music in the films was Chaplin's. It was NOT, and yet the titles clearly stated that it was. His music was far, far superior to the music on these DVDs. His music fit the atmosphere of the movies much better. AND, I was also infuritated that they used the 1942 print of Chaplin's reissue of The Gold Rush, but they did not include his narration. Thus, there are no dialogue titles, as someone else noted, for the simple reason that in the 1942 version, Chaplin spoke the narration himself. ...

Not a Big Fan, But Quality Appears Exceptional
I'm not a big Chaplin fan, but I really enjoy "The Kid"; the picture quality appeared to be exceptional. I base this on other black/white "older" movies I've seen on VHS through the years.
