Notes:Includes an illustrated 60-page booklet of film and restoration notes, and an essay by Jeffrey Vance.
All films have been restored.
Note: Initial copies of the BFI set have a mastering error on disc 1.
When playing each film individually, "Twenty Minutes of Love" (10:40) stops at 5:21 then goes back to the menu. The easy workaround is to select “Play All” and skip forward to "Twenty Minutes of Love", which will then play straight through. Alternatively, you can request a replacement disc free of charge by emailing the BFI. -
