It is easier to list what wasn't released, excluding trailers, compilations, documentaries, etc.

A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG

While I have seen copies for sale, it is worth pointing out that RBC never released:

A DOG'S LIFE
SHOULDER ARMS
THE KID
THE IDLE CLASS
THE PILGRIM

The Kid was released in Spain, with the pre-rerelease version, where the mother has more scenes.

That's the version of THE KID on the Image DVD.

Thanks Dino. I'm familiar with Bouchard and his Keaton prints, and that they are from South America -- probably how he got around the copyright.

What about Film Classic Exchange and Collector's Club? Were these licensed releases?
