Anybody remember the leasing deal with the Chaplin feature films like 'Modern Times' and 'the Great Dictator'? I remember seeing this being offered in the Blackhawk catalogues back in the 1980's. The deal was that you paid up front for the full price of the film, which gave you the right to own the film for about 7 years, after which you promised to return the film. You had to sign a formal lease agreement. Strange but true. Anybody else remeber this, and I wonder if anybody actually sent the films back when the lease expired! Somehow I doubt it!

Yes Paul-

I remember this very well. And the movies were the same price as other movies that you could keep forever!! I always thought that was totally obserd . I always wondered if other film companies were going to do the same thing!

By the way, if any of you collectors out there forgot to return or destroy you Chaplin films, I am currently offering a free service. Just send the films to me, and I'll take care of the rest .

Nick.
