Just to add my tuppence worth... Most USA Blu-Ray releases don't play on UK Blu-ray machines. The region codes are easily hacked on DVD releases but not on BD. This could prohibit a lot of European sales for Flicker Alley. Which, for an item like this would be sizeable. It's Flicker Alleys decision...

What perfect timing! No one else gave Chaplin such a wonderful birthday persent (isn't 125 a milestone birthday?). I am so happy to see this finally released...after all your hard work! As to the decision to go Blu-ray, bravo! I have noticed that some films that have required a great deal of restor...

Indeed it is! Another John Wayne Educational appearance has been found! Congrats Steve!
