I've been waiting to see The Milky Way until they put it out (I believe many cite this as the best talkie?) but The Sin of Harold Diddlebock is incredible and maybe my favorite Lloyd I've seen, including silents.

I don't think the Sturges is one of the Lloyds Criterion has (though it's in the PD so they may include it anyways)

I didn't know it was in the PD. It would have been a perfect dual release set with The Freshman, but maybe the cost for a restoration didn't align with its "prequel."

I’ve just sent an email to Mulvaney asking Criterion to release The Freshman and The Kid Brother in UK region B. If there’s any other Europeans here who shares my wish, please do shoot of a line to Criterion and ask for the same. Let’s start a letter writing campaign!
