The Gold Rush is a 1925 silent film comedy written, produced, directed by, and starring Charlie Chaplin in his Little Tramp role. The film also stars Georgia Hale, Mack Swain, Tom Murray, Henry Bergman, Malcolm Waite. Chaplin declared several times that this was the film that he most wanted to be remembered for.

Plot
The Tramp is carving up a boot.

The Little Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) travels to Alaska to take part in the Alaska Gold Rush. After bad weather strands him in a remote cabin with a prospector (Mack Swain) and an escaped fugitive (Tom Murray), the Tramp eventually finds himself in a gold rush town where he ultimately decides to give up prospecting. After taking a job looking after another prospector's cabin, he falls in love with a lonely saloon girl (Georgia Hale) whom he mistakenly thinks has fallen in love with him. He soon finds himself waylaid by the prospector he met earlier, who has developed amnesia and needs the Tramp to help him find his claim.

Particularly famous scenes include:

    * The Little Tramp, starving, having to eat his boot.
    * A house teetering on the edge of a cliff, before its occupants (including Chaplin) manage to scramble out.
    * The Little Tramp showing a dance to his imaginary dinner guests using two bread rolls stabbed with forks.

One sequence was altered in the 1942 re-release so that instead of the Tramp finding a note from Georgia which he mistakenly believes is for him, he actually receives the note from her. Another major alteration is the ending, in which the now-wealthy Tramp originally gave Georgia a lingering kiss; the sound version ends before this scene.

Dear ,
I am a business negotiator to a paramount ruler in Western Region of Ghana. Mining activities in the community by landowners dates back before independence in 1957. Recently new gold and diamonds mining site was discovered by the locals.As a matter of fact the paramount ruler and other subjects of his council intend to sell 380kg of gold but finding buyers has been the only problem they are facing, hence this advertisement to reach out to Gold and diamonds buyers and brokers who will be able and willing to buy gold or diamonds and enter into contract with chiefs of the community for monthly supply Gold and diamonds from the community
Contact me for more details: glddurst4sale@gmail.com
Waiting for prospective buyers reply.
