Modern Times DVD: Sharp?

I watched a little bit of "Modern Times" on TCM, and thought the soundtrack was
pitched a little high. It didn't sound the same as when I saw it theatrically
or watched the VHS issue.

Is this the way it's supposed to sound? Or is it a mistake?

Funny though -- if the track *is* a little sharp it would give me a chance to
utilize my fancy-ass buttons on my Daewoo multi-region DVD player that allow me
to adjust the pitch... :)

of the leaders...All you have to do is to tell them
they are being attacked, and denounce the
pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the
country to danger."

The R1 DVDs have been transferred from the PAL masters, so they run
about 6% too fast.
