I'd never seen this film before and I wondered how I was going to enjoy a 'silent' movie - I needn't have worried. A great story, and the comedy sequences made me laugh out loud - it takes a lot to do that: Chaplin's comic timing was immaculate. Beautiful picture quality considering the age of the film. The music sounded good, too, and fitted the action perfectly (I believe, set by Mr Chaplin himself in the 1970s).
My first copy didn't have the DVD either, but before I'd opened the box I received an email from Amazon saying they'd send me a replacement, which they quickly did. I would imagine that problem has gone away now.

I was curious to see if a film of this age would look much better on Blu-ray, and I have to say it does. Of course it can't match the quality of later films, but you can see the resolution is still higher than you can get on a DVD. The Blu-ray sticks to the original film format, which I prefer. There's no stretching of the picture or cropping to make it fit a TV screen. Like most of these classic films, it has been well restored. The only flaws you can see are an occasional minor vertical scratch. It gives you a good idea of what this film must have looked like to the original audience. I'm finding films more enjoyable on Blu-ray. There's more detail, more to look at, bringing out things you never noticed before. They seem to have sorted out the problem of the missing DVDs with this series. The Extras are the same as those released on DVD before.

I've been waiting for this to be re-issued onto DVD for a while now.
To get this on Blu-Ray aswell, in the same package is a real bonus.
The DVD has all the extras on, that fans will love & the Blu-Ray quality is excellent.
I've read the review below & this was apparently a simple manufacturing error, where the DVD
was originally left out (This is a double disc set, containing the Blu-Ray & the DVD in one box)
Amazon were fine with me, taking back my copy & sending out the corrected version straight away.
An excellent, highly recommended

Excellent quality!!!
I am comparing this to the quality of the free copyright-free copies of the film. This is an EXCEPTIONAL release. I loved this movie when I saw it, but it was low quality. Read more

Be careful
Be careful of this purchase. Even though it clearly states on the back of the box it comes with both DVD and Blu-ray versions, mine was missing the DVD. Read more
