Chaplin’s impressible little tramp seeks riches in the Yukon in this all-time classic presented here in Chaplin’s later sound era release version and a restored original silent version. Leave it to the tramp to turn hard times into hilarity as he savours a Thanksgiving feast of boiled shoe, slip sides inside a house teetering on a cliff, choreographs whimsical dance of dinner rolls and faces all manner of perils with pluck and fortitude. The Gold Rush is a cinematic wonder. Remember. And enjoy.- All-new digital transfer from Chaplin family vault picture and audio elements.
