Poil de carotte - Duvivier

Vivi's '30s version is TO DIE for and is more poignant than the '20s version, but both are good.

Wow what's up with the narration in The Gold Rush? It's 1925 and yet there's synchronized sound also. I thought theaters didn't even have sound capabilities till 1927, how did they get away with it or was the narration (by Chaplin) added later?
