One hundred years after Charlie Chaplin made dinner rolls dance and ate his shoe like it was a fine meal, The Gold Rush has been vividly brought back to life in a new restoration that premiered Tuesday at the Cannes Film Festival. On the opening day of its 78th edition, Cannes debuted a 4K restoration of The Gold Rush, one of Chaplin's most beloved silent masterpieces.

One of the supreme pleasures of driving through Hollywood is gazing up at Kermit the Frog, who stands tall on top of the Jim Henson Studios gates, doffing his cap to passersby. The convivial statue on La Brea Avenue is one of Los Angeles' most beloved landmarks: both a nod to what happens behind those gates (up until recently, puppet hijinks) and an homage to the Hollywood history that built the place.
