Amazon.ca Canadian Essential

Several leading figures of early movies (among them actress Mary Pickford and director Allan Dwan) were transplanted Canadians, and this landmark film brought two of them together. When Quebec's Mack Sennett, the mastermind behind Keystone slapstick comedy, wanted to make the first feature-length comedy, he turned to an old vaudeville friend and fellow Canadian, Marie Dressler, when his backers told him his starring couple, Mabel Normand and a young comic named Charlie Chaplin, were not enough of a box-office draw. The result, Tillie's Punctured Romance, was a smash hit and remains rousingly funny to this day.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Fantastic Restoration!, Mai 6 2003

Par	Charlie "the-tramp" (Wellesley, MA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Tillies Punctured Romance (DVD)

Quality prints of Chaplin's Keystones are so hard to find! This is one. Image Entertainment has done it again. The quality is crisp and clear. Highly recommend!

This review is for the Tillie's/Mabel DVD, NOT the Chaplin Marathon!

4.0�toiles sur 5 Image Entertainment Release, F�v 17 2003

Par	Silent Girl "S-Girl" (Ontario) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Tillies Punctured Romance (DVD)

Please ignore the reviews for this video that refer to it as a Laser Light release. THIS IS NOT A LASERLIGHT RELEASE. This DVD is remastered by Image Entertainment with a new score. The image quality is pretty good considering this is a film from 1914! Image Entertainment is the best out there when it comes to releasing silent films on DVD. Image Entertainment remasters all their silent films from the best available 35mm nitrate source and they create new scores for the films. Don't let the other reviews turn you off from experiencing this early silent film gem.

2.0�toiles sur 5 Not as bad as expected, D�c 26 2002

Par	Mark Pollock "educator" (Davis, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

First of all, this review is for the Laserlight dvd "Charlie Chaplin Marathon", which has different content from other dvds that this review may appear on.

What we have is is three readily available Chaplin short films, and the feature "Tillie's Punctured Romance".

The three short films, "The Immigrant", "The Rink", and "The Vagabond", are three of Chaplin's best from the Mutual Films period, 1916-1917. In this edition, the films are presented in copies from the Blackhawk collection, with the 1930's era Van Buren soundtracks added on. The picture quality is surprisingly good for a budget dvd, the soundtracks are as horrible as they have always been, and the films are not as restored as the copies on the Image "Chaplin Mutual Films" collection. This makes the dvd not a bad starting place for the Chaplin novice.

However, the copy of "Tillie's Punctured Romance" is a horror, a very bad print, missing many shots and scenes, with a narrator droning endlessly on to try and make sense of this choppy film. It is an abomination, and it saddens me to think that people might be buying this instead of the Image dvd of the film. The Image dvd is fully restored, and looks and sounds a good as possible.

The verdict - this disc may pass for someone who isn't that interested in Chaplin, but it is not for the discerning fan. There are many discs to recommend instead of it.

The reviews on this page seem to be referring to two or three different editions of "Tillie's Punctured Romance. Read more

This is a LaserLight product, and they don't care. They don't care about silent movies, or they wouldn't have put out three short comedies that run too fast. Read more

3.0�toiles sur 5 Fine, not WOW-ing
A pretty decent collection and includes the first full-length feature, hence historically important. However, the sound quality is one of the worst possible on a DVD.. Read more

4.0�toiles sur 5 A decent DVD at a decent Price
[...] It is a pretty decent collection. The sound quality leaves something to be desired and video quality is as to be expected. Nothing less, nothing more. Read more
