Title: distributors preferred " The Gold Rush " to " A Woman of Paris"
Creator: L'Estrange Fawcett
Date: 1927
Description: This article from Films Facts and Forecasts points out that independent filmmakers are fortunate in that their main goal in life is to please the public. Their reputation is so high that they are able to focus all their energies on one film at a time. Chaplin and Fairbanks only made one film a year.
But Chaplin's distributors made it clear that they preferred The Gold Rush to A Woman Of Paris.; A Woman of Paris (1923)
Scholarly Significance: This project is important because it shows the reader that in those days Chaplin's distributors still preferred him to make comedies rather than serious films.
Although Chaplin was already influential enough, he could not do exactly what he wanted with his subject matter. Even though he thought deeply about serious subjects, it seems that audiences and distributors preferred the funny Chaplin.
