In the 1980s, Goodtimes Video released a cheap VHS version. The print was of middling quality and the ending was missing; but this version was distinguished by a (presumably unauthorized) score made up of archive recordings by the Hungarian musician Barnabas von Géczy. See more »

Q: Is this movie based on a novel?
Little Tramp makes good
30 March 2005 | by didi-5 – See all my reviews
Charlie Chaplin's silent film (also re-released with a narration in the early 1940s) focuses, as usual, on the Little Tramp, and in this case, his attraction to a chorus girl (Georgia Hale). This is the one where he eats a boot, along with its laces, and manages to make it appear a sumptuous meal; as well as creating a dance with bread rolls.
The role of the girl was originally intended for the second Mrs Chaplin, Lita Grey, but her pregnancy ruled her out. Georgia Hale is excellent in her disdain of the unwanted Tramp attentions. Mack Swain appears as Big Jim, who shares a cabin with the Tramp, at one point getting so hungry he imagines his pal as a chicken ready to eat! This film has the spirit of the pioneers and gold-runners, as well as the inimitable spirit of the little hero. As a silent it is one of the best comedies of the time, as a sound film, it is fairly good.
