I have to say that as a huge Chaplin fan who already owns all of his feature films and shorts on VHS, I was quite disappointed with this DVD of The Kid. Although it does contains a few deleted scenes, these scenes totally disrupt the flow of the soundtrack that Chaplin worked so hard to write. It's chopped to bits! The music starts and stops abruptly, and is not in sync with the action! Save your money and buy the VHS version. I think the 20th Century Fox Centennial Collection is by far the best!
