A special compilation of four Chaplin classics.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Terry Lawson
If you're a serious Charlie Chaplin fan, you will probably find yourself going straight for the second discs of the four new two-DVD sets released under the umbrella title "The Chaplin Collection" ($89.92, Warner Home Video).
The new editions of "The Gold Rush" (4 stars), "Modern Times" (4 stars), "The Great Dictator" (4 stars) and "Limelight" (3 stars), available separately for $29.95, all come with an extra disc full of special features, and these truly earn the description "special."
The first disc of "The Gold Rush" is given to the 1942 rerelease of the 1925 comedy in which the Little Tramp seeks his fortune in the Yukon. The rerelease, to which Chaplin added narration and a score, has been remastered from a print and soundtrack provided by the Chaplin estate.
But Disc 2, along with a new 26-minute documentary, contains the original silent version restored by Chaplin historian Kevin Brownlow and David Gill, with piano accompaniment that approximates the music you might have heard played live during the original run. There are also hundreds of fascinating production stills and other memorabilia.
