Tille reissue, circa 19-sixty___?
Posted: Mon Jul 13, 2009 6:11 pm
I have to admit a real fondness for dollar DVDs, especially when you come across something like this: a 1960s reissue of "Tillie's Punctured Romance", complete with narration and Thomas J. Valentino score. Here's the first few minutes:

Note that the film's title has been rather clumsily updated with a video-generated titlecard, but that the next card admits "Original silent version entitled Tillie's Punctured Romance".
Any of the experts out there (RMR maybe, hmm? :)) have any idea if this was a theatrical or strictly TV re-release, and can you pinpoint a year? The music and narration seem to be the same used in the Charlie Chaplin Comedy Theatre TV syndication package (an example of which can be found on the Madacy DVD containing WORK).
Thanks,
Chris
