Gold Rush [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray]

Pathos, tenderness, slapstick---Charles Chaplin mines them all in this silent classic set in turn-of-the-century Alaska, where he's a would-be prospector. Among the comic gems: Chaplin, near starvation, eating a meal of boiled boots and spaghetti-like shoelaces; and trying to keep his balance in a cabin atop a cliff.
