Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork - which charts a prospector’s search for fortune in the Klondike and his discovery of romance (with the beautiful Georgia Hale) - forever cemented the iconic status of Chaplin and his Little Tramp character. Shot partly on location in the Sierra Nevadas and featuring such timeless gags as the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of boiled shoe leather, The Gold Rush is an indelible work of heartwarming hilarity. This special edition features both Chaplin’s definitive 1942 version, for which the director added new music and narration, and a new restoration of the original 1925 silent film.

The early days of the Klondike gold rush, 1898. The Tramp is an ambitious prospector wandering around the snowy hills of Alaska, trying to figure out which way to go. Cold and tired, he ends up at the remote cabin of a man with a price on his head, Black Larsen (Tom Murray), who immediately kicks him out. Fortunately for the Tramp, there is a strong blizzard that literally blows him back into the cabin.![The Gold Rush (1925) [The Criterion Collection #615]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/0c/24/0022240c_medium.jpeg)

Meanwhile, a new prospector, Big Jim (Mack Swain), who has found gold, appears. Like the Tramp, he is cold, tired, and looking for a place to spend the night. Black Larsen attempts to kick him out too, but Big Jim proves stronger. The Tramp, Big Jim and Black Larsen decide to share the cabin until the weather gets better.
Soon, the prospectors agree that one of them must go out and find food. They draw cards and Black Larsen gets the lowest one. While wandering around, he meets and kills two policemen. Later on, Black Larsen stumbles upon Big Jim's gold stash, which he decides to keep.![The Gold Rush (1925) [The Criterion Collection #615]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/0d/24/0022240d_medium.jpeg)

Back in the cabin, Big Jim begins hallucinating - his brains tells him that the Tramp as a giant chicken, which he attempts to kill. The Tramp quickly realizes that the most effective way to help Big Jim get rid of the hallucinations is a strong meal - which is why he cooks one of his shoes and serves it to him. Eventually, the weather improves, and the Tramp and Big Jim part ways. Big Jim goes back to his gold stash, but out of nowhere Black Larsen appears and hits him with a shovel, causing him to lose his memory. Black Larsen escapes with a load of Big Jim's gold but dies in an avalanche.![The Gold Rush (1925) [The Criterion Collection #615]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/0e/24/0022240e_medium.jpeg)

The Tramp ends in a town full of gold diggers. He befriends a mining engineer who allows him to stay in his cabin while he is away on business. While wandering around, the Tramp ends up in the town's saloon where he sees Georgia (Georgia Hale), a beautiful dancer; he instantly falls in love with her. Georgia is unaware of the Tramp's existence until an obnoxious bully, Jack, tries to force her to dance with him. The Tramp confronts the bully and earns Georgia's respect. Later on, Georgia and her girlfriends visit the cabin where the Tramp lives and promise to celebrate New Year's Eve with him. For the next couple of days, the Tramp works hard to save enough money to buy food and presents for Georgia and her friends. On New Year's Eve, however, he ends up being alone.![The Gold Rush (1925) [The Criterion Collection #615]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/10/24/00222410_medium.jpeg)

Written and directed by Charlie Chaplin, The Gold Rush has had a number of different reincarnations тА" the original silent version (99 min) (1925); the preferred by Chaplin American rerelease version, which is the version included on this Blu-ray disc (72 min) (1942); as well as an edited American version (81 min) (1925).
The rerelease version is also narrated by Chaplin. The overwhelming majority of the lines the legendary actor utters are short descriptions of the conversations the Tramp has with various characters. They are appropriate for some scenes but not all. More often than not, Chaplin and Max Terr's wonderful music score is a lot more illuminating than the narration.![The Gold Rush (1925) [The Criterion Collection #615]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/12/24/00222412_medium.jpeg)

The Gold Rush contains some of the funniest scenes Chaplin did throughout his career. Yet it remains one of his saddest films - effectively showing the corrosive effects greed could have on people's lives and personalities.
In 1943, the rerelease version of The Golden Rush earned Oscar nominations for Best Music, Scoring of a Dramatic or Comedy Picture (Max Terr) and Best Sound, Recording (James L. Fields).![The Gold Rush (1925) [The Criterion Collection #615]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/13/24/00222413_medium.jpeg)

The inclusion of the new restoration and reconstruction of the 1925 version of The Gold Rush in high-definition makes Criterion's Blu-ray release a clear winner. I personally prefer the 1925 version of the film over the definitive 1942 version and could not be any more pleased with its new digital restoration by Cineteca di Bologna at L'immagine Ritrovata and Criterion. It looks great. As expected, the disc also contains plenty of supplemental material, including a very interesting new interview with composer and conductor Timothy Brock. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
