Presenting the Gold Rush

In 1942, Charles Chaplin released his definitive sound version of THE GOLD RUSH, effectively abandoning the original 1925 silent version of his film. Filmmakers David Gill and Kevin Brownlow reconstructed the original film in 1993. In this documentary short subject, created by The Criterion Collection, Kevin Brownlow and Chaplin biographer and archivist Jeffrey Vance recount the journey of this comic masterpiece.
