Yes, is missing on the BFI Blu-Ray too.
Oh God... they can never do something FINAL on Chaplin films?

yes, the odd-points on that Blu-Ray collection, as I already stated on other places are
1) the gap in the reel change on THE ADVENTURER
2) a little portion of Charlie avoiding to ruin Eric Campbell's hat before he goes into the fish tank scene in THE PAWNSHOP
3) a couple of sequences not concerning Chaplin in EASY STREET which I have never seen and I don't know if they survive (Eric going up the stairs of his home after he escapes from jail /Edna going out of the mission at the reel change)
4) and of course THE IMMIGRANT, which is presented with brilliant image quality, but is missing some 5 minutes compared with the foreign Negative B which I posted somewhere.
5) It could be added that ONE A.M. has none of the original tinting, which made you known that initial scenes where "at night". Without the blue tinting, it's pretty obvious because of the shadows and the sun that the shot was made very probably at One P.M and not at One A.M.
