I know this set is already listed, but they're currently missing the timings and have incorrect ARs and soundtrack info. The latter two points apply to the listed German and UK discs too. Plus, I've added some notes; the restoration ones should be added to
all the DVDs listed.

More corrections and additions:
The "featurette" mentioned on the first German DVD is actually Bravo Charlot! (France 2002, 39min) retitled Bravo, Tramp Charlie, a Chaplin documentary featuring veteran screen star Pierre Tchernia.
The trailer reels on the three German DVDs are 0:31, 0:56 and 0:47 respectively.
The German DVDs are identical to the French Arte Éditions DVDs issued three years prior. You can safely add the French discs, based on your (corrected) German info.
All this is in my
Chaplin Guides... If you
should wish to add a link to my site, I'd suggest either the relevant section for the
1995 Essanay restorations or just to
the whole lot.
