Charlot patine

Restoration work was carried out at Lobster Films in 2014.

Charlot patine (1916) has been restored by Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna and Lobster Films, from a diacetate fine grain preserved at the Library of Congress, a safety dupe positive preserved at the British Film Institute, and a nitrate print preserved at the Archives Françaises du film (CNC).

Some fragments were added from a nitrate print preserved at the British Film Institute.

Intertitles have been reconstructed according to the original Mutual Film intertitles from the same age, and documents of the Library of Congress.

The surviving elements come from two different negatives. Negative A was restored whenever possible, while negative B was used to reconstruct missing or severely damaged shots.

As Charlie prepares to leave for lunch, his light-colored vest is visible beneath his coat. As he exits the building, his vest is now much darker, and blends in with his coat and trousers.

Kino International distributes a set of videos containing all the 12 Mutual short films made by Chaplin in 1915 - 1917. They are presented by David H. Shepard, who copyrighted the versions in 1984, and has a music soundtrack composed and performed by Michael D. Mortilla who copyrighted his score in 1989. The running time of this film is 24 minutes.
