This week Gene Siskel Film Center screens a new digital restoration of Charles Chaplin’s The Gold Rush (1925), including six minutes of footage long deleted from circulating prints and a 5.1 Dolby digital recording of Chaplin’s original score. Another great revival this week is Elia Kazan’s Wild River (1960), presented next Wednesday at the Portage by Northwest Chicago Film Society.
