I have every Charlie Chaplin movie ever made except for THE GOLDRUSH. Charlie Chaplin sounds like a male humanoid life form.



The version of Goldrush that Chaz narrated is the re-edited version. Try the one that is truely silent. At the end he and the leading lady Georgia get real close and then in real life had a bad bad relationship - then Charlie Chaplin went back and re-did it, cutting the "sweet" ending short and dubbing his voice over it (to better attract the newer talkies audiances).




A truly silent version of Goldrush is exactly what I want! I have heard a few Chaplin movies with narration, and it does not impress me.



Go for the recent Chaplin Collection. It was released in two sets (and each movie individually). If you're looking for some of the best Chaplin silents, go for City Lights, Circus, Gold Rush, and The Kid.

Also - apart from the aforementioned collection - there is another collection out there of Chaplin's shorter Mutual films, which shows him really hitting his stride with some of the best work of his career. Plus, there's the awesome supporting cast he had back then, such as the irreplacable Eric Campbell as his nemesis, and Edna Purviance as his love interest. (And if you like those, check out the Essanay Collection, of still-earlier stuff.)



Sounds good to me. Thanks!
