Underground (1928) and The Informer (1929) UPDATED

[Brent_Reid]

The BFI's dual format BD and DVD specs are fully listed, but only under the BD comparisons. Shouldn't the DVDs have a separate listing? Kino have just announced separate BD and DVD releases of both films, and may not be the last, so those comparisons are going to get a little cluttered!

Added the DVD and updated the Blu for the most part.

"Shaping the Silence" score featurette (9:41) [amend description on the BD]

I don't see a reason to update this.

Subtitles:

• Silent Version: English Intertitles
  Sound Version: NO subtitles [amend on the BD]

The sound version has a lot of intertitles so keeping it as is.

• Silent Version: Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo and 5.1 surround ensemble score by Garth Knox [add to BD]

Scores are noted in the review page.

Thank you!

The sound version has intertitles too? If so, I'd forgotten: I haven't seen it since it was first restored.

I suppose you could possibly add a note about the upcoming Kino discs and the DVDBeaver review, otherwise, well done!
