New 35 mm Print! THE GOLD RUSH June 19, 2010

New 35 mm Print! THE GOLD RUSH, 1925, Janus Films, 72 min. Coming off his first major financial failure, A WOMAN OF PARIS, writer-director Charlie Chaplin responded with what many consider his finest feature length film. The Lone Prospector (Chaplin) travels to the far-off Yukon in search of gold, but ends up falling in love with dance-hall girl Georgia Hale. The classic "dance of the dinner rolls" and "boiled shoe leather" scenes show Chaplin’s gift for poignant comedy at its very best.
Plus New 35 mm Print! "A Dog's Life," (1918, Janus Films, 40 min). A literal expression of Chaplin's identification with the underdog.

New 35 mm Print! "A Day's Pleasure," (1919, Janus Films, 25 min). A family boat outing is complicated by tumultuous waves, traffic and a pool of tar.

New 35 mm Print! "Shoulder Arms," (1918, Janus Films, 46 min). The comedy of self-preservation and patriotic fantasy comes to a head when the Tramp finds himself in World War I.
