Re: First review I've seen of "Chaplin at Keystone"
Sounds like there might be a market for Ben Model Alt Scores timed for 1.5x speed. Don't forget we need a score for 1.5x Tillie too!

Re: First review I've seen of "Chaplin at Keystone"
Cue the ominous chords. Look at the running times to the right of the bitrate charts.
