1942 version of Gold Rush

I'm sure all of us would agree that Chaplins 1942 version of "The Gold
Rush" is grossly inferior to the original 1925 version. I can hardly
watch the 1942 version and even though I love Chaplin's voice, I can't
stand him intruding upon the action with his narration in 1942.

The ending in 1925, with Charlie kissing Georgia and the cameraman
saying, "You've spoiled the picture!" is classic. It's like icing on
the cake. Yet as you all know, CC inexplicably cuts the ending and
leaves the audience with Georgia and himself strolling on deck with no
kiss and a terribly compromised ending. There's no rhyme or reason to
cutting the kiss and the close up.

Why did Chaplin do this? Georgia doesn't discuss it in her book, nor
does CC address it in his own Autobiography. Charlie still had cordial
relations with Georgia when the revised version came out, so it doesn't
seem logical he cut it because of strained feelings between he and
Hale. What's the story behind this?
