The Gold Rush 8/10


A lone prospector (Charlie Chapman) takes part in a gold rush. He ends up meeting up with a fugitive and another prospector in a cabin after bad weather. He comes along a gold rush town, where he decides to give up looking for gold and ends up falling in love with a girl, who he thinks loves him. The other prospector from the cabin, suffering from amnesia looks for him because he needs him to find his claim.
The gold rush had unneeded narration over the film. The acting itself told the story. It was a funny story of greed and love. One of my favorite scenes is when he is so hungry he cooks and eats his shoe. For the scene the shoe was made of licorice, so Charlie could eat it. Hilarious classic comedy.
