I received two gifts worth noting here: First was the Charley Chase Scrapbook compiled by Brian Anthony & Bill Walker, a great gift for any Chase fan.
The other was the original cut of Atoll K from Cornerstone Media International; it clocks in at 97 minutes, longer than any other print of Utopia that I've seen, and the film works better in it's complete state. (There are also no cutaway shots to a Welch's label on that wine they drink.)

The films were digitally scanned and look great, almost like watching them for the first time. However SAY-AHHH and IT'S A BIRD seem to be upconversions of standard def transfers.


Sounds great. Is it region encoded?

Well, is your player region free or European? If your player is not, and the disc plays, then the disc should be region free.

Sorry to take so long to get back.

I watch my blu rays on my PC but a friend of mine says it is not region coded.

One more observation on this set: MANY A SLIP has the first reel restored.
