The Gold Rush
Directed by Charlie Chaplin
1925
★ 7.7 editorial score
Chaplin said this was the film he wanted to be remembered for: the boiled boot eaten like a banquet, the dancing dinner rolls, and a cabin on a cliff edge.
“Billed as a dramatic comedy, the story carries more of a plot than has been the rule with the star’s former offerings. There are spots where Charlie has developed dramatic situations bordering on tragedy, and these show the master hand and finesse of Chaplin’s artistry. But taken on the whole, the public will accept "The Gold Rush" as an out and out comedy, and the greatest of all time.”
