If The Gold Rush hit the spot, these will too

Charlie Chaplin working the same nerve twice
The difference: Trades the scale of The Gold Rush for an angle of its own

Two things both keep coming back to: black and white and silent film
The difference: Easier on the stillness than The Gold Rush

Charlie Chaplin directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Sits closer to romance than The Gold Rush does


The same preoccupation in both: black and white
The difference: Made in the 1950s, in a different era of the craft

Both land wit and play at once

One thread runs through both: silent film

Romantic comedy, and it commits to that

Adventure with a pulse of wit, in both cases

Both lean on scale more than on drama

Playful comedy in both cases

Adventure built on romance, twice over
