The HITCHCOCK 9 DVDs I've received are of the restored versions, of course.
Obviously the SF Silent Film Festival is a real destination for this kind of thing since they had the big Abel Nance do last year.

Great. Wish I had me a copy of the debut.

I am very excited that the "arthouse" where I work will be showing this series (sometime in Fall when there's a lot of students around). I have been unable to find precise info as to how these restored versions differ from the ones that have been available. In particular, I realize that my DVD of THE MANXMAN which I happily re-watched last nite is 84 minutes long but that it is listed elsewhere as anywhere between 80 and 116 minutes. I wonder how long the restored version is, but I'll find out in time.

According to a recent BAM listing THE MANXMAN BFI version is more like 98 mins. I could check that. The BFI has partial info on each restoration, just what the problems were and what was mainly done.
My new Hitchcock 9 thread is in the General Forums section here.

Thanks. In that case, I am certainly looking forward to watching this restored version which is significantly longer than the one I have.
I notice how, now that these new versions are coming out, the 3-DVD set of silent and early-talkie Hitchcock I own is selling for peanuts. It includes my fave UK Hitch: Murder!

But all of the Hitchcock 9 were available to the public in some form except BLACKMAIL (the silent version).
I should have given the run-times of the BFI versions I watched. I can.
