Date: 23 November 2001 Summary: One of the all-time classics!
If anyone doubts that Charlie Chaplin was one of the funniest comedians
ever
or that silent films did not require acting ability, t you a commend this
film, as well as City Lights. Modern Times isn't, strictly speaking, a
silent film, although Chaplin had no dialogue there. The Gold Rush, while
not Chaplin's best film, does feature his best performance and has so many
classic bits, it must be seen. Excellent film. 1942 version redone by
Chaplin is a bit better, but either will do. Most highly recommended.
