    Duck Soup Cinema: The Gold Rush at Overture Center for the Arts - Capitol Theater

    One of the first films produced after Charlie Chaplin morphed from a ubiquitous character in two-reel shorts to a budding feature star, The Gold Rush places Chaplin’s iconic Tramp character amid Klondike prospectors, where he discovers the love of his life. Painstakingly crafted over two years of planning and sporadic shooting, The Gold Rush is one of Chaplin’s funniest, most gag-oriented features—and one of his most profound, as he refines the Tramp into a sort of wistful everyman striving to fit in.
