Does anybody know of specific prints on DVD or VHS that feature the original uncut film before Chaplin altered it in the 1970s? Of course it won't have his sountrack, but I'd like to see the picture as it was in 1921. Same with A Woman of Paris. Are there any editions of that that came out on DVD or VHS featuring the full version?

The Image DVD series, long out of print, is as close to the "original" cuts as we're likely to ever see. They are based on restorations done in the 1940s by Chaplin's cameraman, Rollie Totheroh. I avoid watching the 1970s "daddy" versions, and the only thing that really benefitted from the re-releases was the beautiful new scores Chaplin composed.
