It seems the BFI's discs of the Chaplin Essanays are out soon. Does anyone
which versions these will be? The running time would be in line with David
Shepard's groundbreaking restorations, but it appears the films are on two
double discs. In contrast, the previous European versions of David's Essanay
restorations (i.e., the French arte discs and the German releases) were
essentially identical as far as I know, and grouped much like the Image
discs, with the occasional peripheral extra thrown in. Would there be any
reason for the BFI to re-author them, or do they have versions of their own?
