Review: Rush to get this one and you won't be disappointed - After getting Modern Times (see review), I decided to get one more Chaplin film. Decided to get one that was definitely made during the Silent Era, and this seemed to be the best one. Was definitely not disappointed. The story follows Chaplin's famous "Tramp" character, this time named as "The Lone Prospector". During the Gold Rush in the Yukon region of North America in the 1890's, Chaplin's Prospector travels into the snowy mountains in the hope shared by many to strike it rich. Arriving at a cabin inhabited by a criminal on the run and also meeting up with another prospector who has actually struck it rich, Chaplin's Lone Prospector begins a strange adventure filled with starvation, hope, love, and eventually the riches he sought out. I know that seems vague, but so much happens in this film that this is probably the best description that covers everything. The film itself is very entertaining. Labeled as a "Comedic Drama", it certainly has a lot of laughs mixed in with drama in a way that only Chaplin knows how to create. This was the film that Chaplin wanted to be most remembered for, and his efforts certainly pay off. Some of his most iconic scenes are in this film such as his attempts to fend off starvation by boiling and eating his own shoe, slipping & sliding in a ramshackle cabin in the snow, and entertaining others with his "dance" using dinner rolls and forks. There are a lot of subtle comedic actions as well where it would be impossible to go over them all without going through the film itself scene by scene. The Criterion Blu-Ray presentation is great in that we're treated to two versions of this film. Originally, the film was produced in 1925 as Chaplin's first Feature Length film featuring The Tramp. As years passed by and the world entered the era of "talkies", Chaplin didn't want this film to be discarded and forgotten. So, in 1942, he re-edited the film, added a narration track with Chaplin himself providing the voice, and released into theaters. It was well-received, and Chaplin considered this to be the "definitive" version of the film. The original Silent version then went into obscurity and if it weren't for a 35 mm print saved by a private collector, we would have lost the original version altogether. Fast forward to today's era and technology where a digital recreation of the original Silent version was made, and we're now blessed with not only the original, but the 1942 version as well. The restorers of the Silent film are almost apologetic about this "Work in Progress" version that they've created, but I think they did a fantastic job. The picture is clean, sharp, and the music selections really enhance the picture. There are some flaws here and there which can be expected when restoring a film of this age. However, it's really almost flawless and very enjoyable to watch. In fact, I really prefer the Silent recreation over the 1942 narrated version even though both versions are really well done. Thankfully, both versions are available on the disc so that we can all view both and make our own decisions. As with other Criterion releases of Chaplin's work, there are plenty of behind-the-scenes special features, commentary and booklet included so that one can do a deep dive into this, one of Chaplin's best films. Not much more can be said, other than any fan of Charles Chaplin would be very happy to own this Blu-Ray copy of the film. Also recommended for those who are just learning about the great Chaplin and wish to explore his work. This will certainly not be a disappointment. Review: Reviewing the Criterion Collection with both 1942 and 1925 versions. - This movie is wonderful and hilarious in both the 1942 version and the 1925 version. However, if you want to watch it in all it's glory watch the 1925 version. For this reason and this reason only: The movement of the character coincides with the story. For example: In the 1925 version Georgia does not write the letter for the tramp but for Jack. Jack does not care for the letter and decides to trick the tramp into believing it was meant for him. So when the tramp starts giving Georgia a heartfelt monologue of his love for her and how he completely understands her sentiments Georgia has an expression of confusion. She doesn't know what he's talking about, and you can tell by the way she looks. But in the 1942 version they make it look like the tramp was the one intended to receive the letter in the first place. So when he gives his heartfelt monologue to Georgia her expression of confusion does not make sense. She would surely be hugging him back and have an expression of love, not one of confusion. There's also the bit where they are trapped in the Cabin at the end and they are wondering why they feel like they are rocking back and forth. The tramp claims it's the stomach first, then when they feel the house rocking again and they try jumping up and down to see if it is indeed the house the tramp makes an expression as if to say "it must be the stomach, there's no other explanation" But in the 1942 version this part is shown with Charlie in the background saying "It isn't the stomach" Which again does not make sense with the movement of the character. So yeah watch the 1925 version for the correct experience. And the best one. 1942 is good, but not the correct way to watch it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B003B354YK | | Actors | Betty Morrissey, Charles Chaplin, Georgia Hale, Mack Swain, Tom Murray | | Best Sellers Rank | #53,464 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #6,117 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (554) | | Director | Charles Chaplin, Charlie Chaplin | | Language | Unqualified (Dolby Digital 1.0) | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Multiple Formats, NTSC, Silent | | Number of discs | 1 | | Producers | Charles Chaplin | | Product Dimensions | 0.54 x 7.52 x 5.22 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | July 15, 2015 | | Run time | 1 hour and 28 minutes | | Studio | Reel Vault | ## Product Details - **Format:** Multiple Formats, NTSC, Silent - **Genre:** Classics/Silent Films, Comedy - **Number Of Discs:** 1 - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 28 minutes ## Images ![Charlie Chaplin in The Gold Rush - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Xba+0gxxL.jpg) ![Charlie Chaplin in The Gold Rush - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Mo6rksN2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rush to get this one and you won't be disappointed *by S***M on June 15, 2024* After getting Modern Times (see review), I decided to get one more Chaplin film.

I usually watch it once a year, preferably on a day we've experienced a lot of snow here in MI. Sets the mood. Always amazed at the range of emotions this essentially 100 year old film can evoke. This Criterion release is the one to get. It has beautiful restorations of both version of the film. If you are interested in supplemental materials, the featurettes are pretty interesting. I liked learning a bit about the cameras & techniques Chaplin's film crew used, as well as the feature on Chaplin as composer. At the risk of sounding cliche, "The Gold Rush" is a classic that belongs in every Chaplin fan's collection. :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/36322294-charlie-chaplin-in-the-gold-rush](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/36322294-charlie-chaplin-in-the-gold-rush) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
