Charlie creates a beautiful New Year’s Eve dinner, while he awaits his guests he falls a sleep, it is in his dream that he creates the brilliant Dance of the Rolls and his party is a huge success…in one of the most poignant scenes in a Chaplin film he wakes to realize he has been stood up.

For me never was the tramp as sad and as lonely as in “The Gold Rush”

The Wizard of Oz (1939) ‘Goofs’

1. Judy’s hair length changes quite often throughout the film. Most noticeably during the Scarecrow sequence. One minute it’s short, next shot it’s long. 2. Judy is trying to cover her laughing with Toto. Bert Lahr made her laugh quite a lot during this scene resulting in numerous takes and an unhappy director.  3. Skipping up to the gates the Lion’s tail wire can be seen catching onto one of the nearby flowers as he goes by. 4. Going down the poppy field hill Judy slips and falls slightly forward, her face shows the surprise. 5. Judy trips over the green rug with her Ruby Slippers and steps over it. 6. Toto had a string tied around his neck in order to reveal the man behind the curtain. It was meant to look as if he was doing it with his mouth. Judy is seen here taking the string off of his neck as the Wizard is talking.
