Playing Dead is a rare drama from the usual comedy duo Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew. The only releases of the film previously available have been sourced from very poor small-gauge film prints. The restoration presented here—new for 2025—comes from an incomplete but exceptionally high quality original 35mm nitrate print with the missing footage filled in from the best latter-day print available. Included is a bonus short comedy along similar themes, A Regiment of Two, also sourced from an original print.
