Another 35mm print is apparent in the restaurant scene in a shot with Ben Turpin, as static electricity charges in the camera or in the printmaking apparatus lightly expose the film. The marks appear as little lightning-like branches of light that shoot upward from a horizontal line that crosses the frame. These marks tend to jump up and down within the frame. The last print may have been from another of the negatives found in France. The footage is very good with great detail.
All prints feature open framing to allow as much picture image as possible.
On previous videotape versions of this film, cropping was so tight that the viewer could not see that, as he enters the restaurant the first time, Chaplin uses his cane to knock down an armful of cigar boxes carried by a bell hop. We also want to take a moment here to compare the acting of a couple of Chaplin's supporting cast members of this time. The difference points out what a great foil Campbell was for Chaplin, and what a tragic loss Campbell's early death was. The Champion utilizes a slightly soft 35mm print, with some light wear. On most televisions the cropping will be slightly visible at each side of the picture.
