The Gold Rush

The Gold Rush, made in 1925, is one of Chaplin's most famous films. Famous scenes include eating shoes and making rolls dance.

By the time Gold Rush was made, Chaplin, and his little tramp character, were unbelievably famous worldwide.

The movie illustrates the perfectionism and economy of gesture and plot that characterize much of Chaplin's best work.

Actors for The Gold Rush include Mack Swain (Big Jim) who was one of Chaplin's colleagues at Keystone and appeared in numerous Chaplin shorts, and Henry Bergman who appears in many other Chaplin films and also serves as his assistant director.
