Flicker Alley

[bigshot]

The UK Chaplin Mutuals looks better than the Flicker Alley release. It has the same Cineteca Bologna restoration, but the live music accompaniment is in proper sync. (It's out of sync by as much as a second on several of the Flicker Alley shorts) The best part is that the UK version also included Carl Davis's spectacular orchestral scores, and was overseen by Davis himself.

The Spanish release of the Mutuals is better than Flicker Alley's too. It has the same scores, but they are in proper synchronization with the films. I bought the Spanish Mutual and Essanay sets because I got stung by the Flicker Alley Mutuals.
