  First of all, I want to congratulate you guys in having such great taste. I haven't seen them but by all accounts this Allan King set seems like exactly the kind of films that I routinely depend upon you to release... so many of us have discovered great films thanks to your brand and the great care and work that goes even in the Eclipse sets. Thank you. Now, I understand the Eclipse sets are meant to be bare-bones for economical reasons. And I find this to be an extremely sensible move that allows for the availability of several films that would otherwise never see the light of day. But since I am a deaf person, I am worried this means that english-language titles under the Eclipse umbrella won't have english subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. The main Criterion line fortunately doesn't have that problem (except for a few of the first spine releases like The Long Good Friday, The Naked Kiss and Blood of Dracula) and I've often bought your titles safe in the knowledge that there'll be top-notch subtitles included. To say it has been a great comfort is to put it mildly. A lot of companies have often thought that english subtitles for an english-language film are redundant and have not even included Closed Captioning. Not so Criterion. Salesman, Pickup on South Street, Metropolitan and Blast of Silence, these are all but a fraction of the many english-language films I was finally able to understand! Thank you again. I apologize for going in such a roundabout way of doing it but I guess what I really wanted to do is ask: Do The Actuality Dramas of Allan King include english subtitles? I really am dying to see them but the lack of subs would mean that I'd regretfully have to forego purchase. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this Best wishes A faithful customer

  Hi Benjamin, Thanks for your kind words! All our English-language titles, including the Eclipse ones, have SDH titles, so please buy in confidence and enjoy.
