The Gold Rush (1925) : Original Ending

If you haven't seen The Gold Rush, and don't want to know the ending, stop reading (or watching) now!

Spoiler-alert!: All ends well! Having found gold, and won the heart of his beloved (Georgia); this is the only film where the Tramp ends up rich.

To me, this is one of Chaplin's finest, and most-admired, endings!

This complete original silent verson was restored by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, specially accompanied on the piano by Neil Brand, using melodies from the film's original compilation score by Karli D. Elinor.

Thanks for uploading!

although i much prefer the '25-ending to the '42, it still cannot compete with the heartbreaking ending from city lights. that one get's the tear duckts flowing every time.

How did he ever think this should be cut? I don't think it's out of character for the Little Tramp... he's still in the same clothes despite his money, and the Tramp has accepted poverty many times for noble reasons but it's always been clear that if he came to a tub of butter, he'd jump in! And I kinda like the idea that there's an actual man simmering under that get-up. It really shows here.

@CharlieChaplinsAngel there are a few significant changes. for example the addressee of the letter that georgia writes near the end: she sends it to jack and not to the tramp. i find her much more 3-dimensional in the 1925 version.

[hunnybunch1981]

@Bmayo27 indeed they do. it's almost documentary for the feel of bein natural and no acting at all.

[CharlieChaplinsAngel]

@Bmayo27 Ok good :)

[CharlieChaplinsAngel]

@Bmayo27 awww :( Okey dokeeeyyyy. There's no scenes cut out besides that ending?
