The Gold Rush

Chaplin’s classic, The Gold Rush, released in 1925, is one of the greatest silent film comedies.

Seventeen years later, Chaplin undertook cinema’s first real “Director’s Cut” exercise, when he slightly re-edited the film, composed a musical score, and added his own spoken narrative.

The result was the introduction of the sound movie to a new generation of film-goers, and a big commercial success.

This is an original US Lobby Card from that 1942 re-issue, and is the Title Card from the set of 8 produced for the cinematic release.
