What's left behind the scenes
- Chaplin's only silent comedy filmed from a pre-written script.
- 2,500 vagrants were specifically hired for one shooting day to play the role of gold prospectors.
- Chaplin re-edited the film 27 times before arriving at the final version.
- Several methods of simulating snow were tested (such as salt), including filming in actual snow. Almost all of the footage was reshot two or more times with "different snow".
- Lita Grey was originally intended to play the leading female role, but due to her pregnancy, Chaplin was forced to find another actress.
- The filming of the opening scene took place in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Despite the harsh weather, Chaplin demanded perfect execution of all scenes, with the number of takes sometimes reaching 25. Subsequent filming took place in a studio.
- With the advent of sound film, in 1942 Chaplin made a new version of the film, which included his own music and authorial text, which he read himself. Some scenes were cut, including the final one. Considering this version final, Chaplin did not bother to preserve the original from 1925, which was restored from various sources. This was facilitated by the fact that the copyright on the original was not extended. In 1956, the film was re-edited: Chaplin made minor changes to the text read by the author.
- Albert Einstein loved Charlie Chaplin's films and once wrote to him: «Your film „The Gold Rush“ is understandable to everyone in the world, and you will certainly become a great man. Einstein». Chaplin replied as follows: «I admire you even more. Nobody in the world understands your theory of relativity, and yet you have become a great man. Chaplin».
