The film "Gold Rush" - the only silent tape of Charlie Chaplin, based on a previously written script. She talks about Little Tramp, who in 1898 goes to the gold mines of Alaska.

In the main female role, it was planned to remove the 17-year-old Gray, the second wife of Charlie Chaplin, whom he married in 1924. However, due to Lita’s pregnancy, she appeared only in a few episodes (and those were not included in the final editing), and the main role went to debutant Georgia Hale.

The very image of the Vagabond, invented by comedian Roscoe Arbuckle, first appeared in the film Mabel's Unusually Difficult Situation of 1914, in which Chaplin, 25, was dressed in huge pants, a narrow business card, big shoes, a bowler hat, and a cane in his hands; for solidity, he stuck small mustaches that did not hide the facial expressions needed in a silent movie.

The shooting of the Gold Rush began in 1924 in Nevada, California, however, when the material was almost ready, Chaplin, having abandoned scenes in natural conditions (of which he left only a few initial episodes), moved the shooting of the film to his own pavilion studio United Artists in Los Angeles.

More than two thousand of these vagrants were hired, and for the image of the snow, various versions of its imitation were used and for each of them almost all the scenes were re-shot.

The Gold Rush was remounted by Chaplin 27 times and first appeared on the screen on June 26, 1925 in Hollywood. She was a huge success all over the world and became the fifth largest box office in silent cinema history.

In 1953, Gold Rush was recognized by the public domain of the United States, in 1992 it was placed on the National Registry of the Library of Congress, and since 1998, it has been included in the Top 100 American films of the past 100 years according to the American Film Institute.
