There isn't as much subtle heart as in some of Chaplin's other films, such as "City Lights" or "The Kid," but the actor shows his talent at physical comedy in a madcap adventure story set in the Yukon. |

Although I can't say I remember a whole lot after seeing this one in school, I can definitely tell you from what I remember that it is one of Chaplin's best. I mean, come on! He is the little tramp! |

I finally saw this film. While I greatly prefer City Lights, this film has its merits. Unfortunately, I saw this film on YouTube. What was worse than the quality, was that years later, Chaplin added narration to this film. When Charlie opens a door, Charlie says "and he opens a door". Basically, it ruins the film. I hope to see this film one day without narration. |

It's Chaplin's magnum opus, for sure. And, it's one of the best comedies ever. I loved it. Every, single joke in it is funny. |

Not a bad silent film as I was interested most of the time. It just didn't have what some of the other great Chaplin films did: a better paced story. |

The Gold Rush review |
|
The first of Chaplin's classic silents that he converted to a sound version with narration. "The Lone Prospector" (Charlie Chaplin) encounters a fugitive (Tom Murray as Black Larsen), a lady he falls for (Georgia Hale as Georgia) and a burley inspector (Mack Swain as Big Jim McKay). Though the plot is much wittier and more fulfilling than Chaplin's pictures, it lacks that certain charm, more interesting characters and laughable (meaning laugh out loud scenes) moments. Nevertheless, the score, settings/setpieces, eloquent narration, his spectacular performance and ability to make you smile is impeccable. Highlights include the enigmatic "roll dance," hallucination of him being a chicken, cabin tilted in which Big Jim and the Lone Prospector trying to escape and the shotgun conflict. C... |
