The Gold Rush, his first comedy in several years.“ (...)

      The ascending laughter of the film reaches its

climax at a dangerous precipice. To this point

It turns out that the wind was kind enough to deposit

this their attempts to get out of the dangerous position

the hut is in cause hilarious shrieks from the spectators.“ (...)
