Review of The Gold Rush (1925) by Michael C — 23 Jan 2009
Anyone doubting the scope of influence Charlie Chaplin has had on the world of film can receive a quick education on this fact within an hour and 6 minutes, the relatively short running time of this comedy classic.
It is a marvel to see how many famous moments in comedy originated in this film, and they are just as amusing and inspired now as they were in 1925 (the "dance" with baked potatoes on the ends of forks is a good example and one of my favorite scenes).
Without this film and Chaplin's other work I don't know if Looney Tunes would even exist.
