Tuesday’s programme brings everybody’s favourite, Charlie Chaplin, to Turua for the first time. “The Gold Rush” is a real love story, .tenderly sweet, strangely pathetic, yet full of funny angles that thread through this great comedy and turns tragedy into hilarious - laughter. Charlie never was funnier nor his antics more laughable. Supporting this picture are a Fox comedy, Fox news, and a Fox variety.
