Product Description
The Gold Rush is widely reported to be the film that Chaplin most wanted to be remembered for. It sees The Tramp as a lone prospector venturing to Alaska looking for gold. He gets mixed up with some burly characters, falls in love with the beautiful Georgia (Georgia Hale) and tries to win her heart with his singular charm.
This edition includes two versions of the film: the digitally restored 1942 film where Chaplin took the 1925 original, composed and recorded a musical score for the film, added narration and re-edited, as well as the 1925 silent original.
Other extras include: Introduction by David Robinson (6 mins), Chaplin Today: Gold Rush documentary (26 mins), Photo Gallery.

Park Circus seem to have got things the wrong way round here. The 1925 original (restored by Kevin Brownlow) is the version that people want to see on Blu Ray, not the 1942 version with Chaplin's commentary. The DVD contains everything, including all the extras and Brownlow's restoration of the 1925 original, whilst the Blu Ray only contains the 1942 version of The Gold Rush. All in all this release is not what it appears to be ... disappointing and deliberately misleading. Caveat emptor.

Beware! Only the inferior 1942 version is included on the blu-ray disc, and the image quality is only so-so. Wait until you get a better offer.

Enjoyed seeing Chaplin's 1942 reworking of the original 1925 film alongside the original silent film. Whilst the 1925 version is far superior (why did Chaplin recut with the voiceover) it's good to see the two side by side.

Beware - it's NOT the Carl Davis soundtrack
Although the 1925 silent version is included and is stated to be the Kevin Brownlow restoration, I found to my disappointment, it is NOT the Photoplay presentation. Read more

A film to remember! Chaplin is a genius!
Made in 1925, this Chaplin film is considered by many to be his best film. The comedy is endless and Charlie's quick reactions and undoubted genius for timing serve to make this... Read more
