2.0 out of 5 stars A Disappointing Blu Ray. 4 Sep 2010
By Mr Ons
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
Please note that Amazon have decided to put this review on both the Park Circus and the Criterion blu-ray pages. The review I posted below concerns the Park Circus blu-ray only, and I neither intended nor expected it to crop up on the Criterion blu-ray page.

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Gold Fraud 30 Aug 2010
By Michael
Format:Blu-ray
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Comparison 5 Feb 2011
Format:Blu-ray
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Beware - it's NOT the Carl Davis soundtrack 30 Nov 2010
Format:Blu-ray
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. It DOES NOT have Carl Davis's orchestral version of the soundtrack! It is accomplanied only by a piano. The film is excellent but if you are buying it for the Carl Davis aspect, as I did, don't bother!

5.0 out of 5 stars A film to remember! Chaplin is a genius! 28 July 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
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 old classic very special indeed. Some of the many scenes in this film are among the most famous ever filmed! If you have any love for true comedy that is both fast paced and original then The Gold Rush is a gem. A MUST buy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work in the US 20 Aug 2012
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
When I searched for Charlie Chaplin Gold Rush on Amazon, I pulled up this purchase option. Said Amazon UK. Thought that there might be some issues with shipping, and although it took a week longer then what they stated I wouldn't have complained. Problem is that the DVD does not play on my Blu Ray DVD player. They have 2 versions in the box, but it appears that they are formatted for a european system, not a US. Don't buy it if you are in the US! Its still sitting on my desk because I don't want to incur the shipping charges returning it to the UK.
