What's happening in the music
Charlie Chaplin’s comedic masterwork turns 100 in 2025. It remains the highest-grossing silent comedy to date and is the film that Charlie Chaplin hoped would be remembered most.
The Gold Rush is a delightful blend of slapstick humour, poignant emotion, and social commentary. The rags to riches tale follows a prospector’s search for fortune in Klondike. Add in romance, timeless gags, and a live orchestra playing the movie score and we think that just about equals a perfect afternoon out.
Take a watch
Watch the heartwarming and hilarious scene when a shoe becomes a meal, the shoe laces spaghetti for the famished prospectors.
