Charlie Chaplin on Blu

[Fadeaway189]

Charlie Chaplin made a hand full of movies and a good amount have been released

The Gold Rush
City Lights
Modern Times
The Great Dictator
Monsieur Verdoux

Has anyone heard or any rumor about the rest of his films being released on blu ray?

The Kid
A Women Of Paris
The Circus
Limelight
A King In New York
A Countess From Hong Kong

His short film, "The Immigrant", is an extra on the Au Revoir Les Enfants Blu-ray release.

These are all available internationally. His Mutual comedies are said to be released this year in the US too.

I know they are released elsewhere I just didnt know if I should cave and buy them or wait for US releases. Also which are the mutual comedies? May be a dumb question

Criterion will continue to release them here as they have the rights to them, so it won't hurt to wait a little longer. The Mutual comedies are 12 short films he did with the studio Mutual Film Corporation, it includes:

The Floorwalker
The Fireman
The Vagabond
One A.M.
The Count
The Pawnbroker
Beyond the Screen
The Rink
Easy Street
The Cure
The Immigrant
The Adventurer

Not a dumb question, but easily searchable.

But I'll be a nice guy and list the Mutual comedies anyway:
They were released between May 1916 and October 1917. Chaplin starred, wrote or co-wrote and directed them all:
The Floorwalker
The Fireman
The Vagabond
One A.M.
The Count
The Pawnshop
Behind the Screen
The Rink
Easy Street
The Cure
The Immigrant
The Adventurer

There are a total of 82 "official" completed and released Chaplin films, but only a few (the later ones) are feature length.

Got it well I hope the rest of the feature length are released and a box set of the short films would be amazing

The Mutuals have been restored and a release is expected in 2014. I'm guessing the release will come from a label other Criterion. The New Years Cartoon that Criterion published 2012/2013 teased The Kid. I'm guessing that will be the next Chaplin from Criterion. In 2010 Janus announced that they had acquired rights to the entire Charlie Chaplin film catalogue. 'Entire' almost certainly doesn't include the Mutuals...

So...I would definitely hold off.

Thanks for all the help I knew I could turn to this forum for answers. Just a fan and am looking to have all the stuff on blu I can find
