Pardon Us (1931) Restoration Comparison

https://www.classicflix.com/products/copy-of-laurel-and-hardy-the-restored-features-volume-1 Presented here is a restoration comparison of the first Laurel and Hardy feature film Pardon Us (1931) which will be in our upcoming Laurel and Hardy - The Restored Features, Volume 1. Aside from the very noticeable difference between the raw scan and restored video portions, the first clip is a comparison of the current DVD and our restoration to show not only how much better the image looks, but also to show just how much of the image was cropped out and missing in the current DVD (and former) releases. NOTE: The theatrical release of PARDON US included in this release is the only true release/cut of the film. Any other existing cut was put together after the initial run (without definitive proof) and cannot be definitively said to represent either preview version of the film (The Rap or Their First Mistake).
