A poor prospector (Charlie Chaplin, pictured) has poor prospects, but suddenly strikes it rich. |
Reviewed by Chris Tookey

One of Chaplin's most successful movies. The comic set-pieces (including the dance of the bread-rolls and Charlie eating his boot and laces) show his talents to the full: it's the glutinous sentimentality in between which is hard to take. In 1958, an international jury voted the silent version the second-greatest film of all time (after Eisenstein's Potemkin); but some modern critics, including myself, feel Chaplin is too strained in his attempts to ingratiate himself. The truncated sound version issued in 1942 is to be avoided.
