Reviews for The Gold Rush
From the famous shoe-eating dinner to the dance of the dinner rolls, Chaplin’s effortless mining of comedy and pathos is pure gold.
02/24/04
Perhaps the defining Chaplin film, and certainly his funniest.
04/20/09
The blend of slapstick and pathos is seamless, although the cynicism of the final scene is still surprising. Chaplin's later films are quirkier and more personal, but this is quintessential Charlie, and unmissable.

The Gold Rush was one of [Chaplin's] purest comedy-fantasies, with some brilliant set-pieces including Charlie changing into a chicken and the 'dance of the dinner rolls.'

City Lights might be Chaplin's most exquisite achievement, but he never made a funnier or more beloved film than his own personal favorite, Gold Rush.

Chaplin said that it was the movie he most wanted to be remembered for, and damn if he didn't get his wish.

...quintessential Chaplin: sweet, semi tragic, comforting, and most of all funny.

The Gold Rush has been delighting audiences for almost 80 years -- it's one of the flat-out funniest films made in the silent era or any other.

The passage of 80 years has not dimmed its humor, or Chaplin's creativity.

Here is a comedy with streaks of poetry, pathos, tenderness, linked with brusqueness and boisterousness.
