CITY LIGHTS - BLU-CRITERION COLLECTION

Details

• Release Year: 1931
• Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance
• Plot: City Lights, the most cherished film by Charlie Chaplin, is also his ultimate Little Tramp chronicle. The writerdirector-star achieved new levels of grace, in both physical comedy and dramatic poignancy, with this silent tale of a lovable vagrant falling for a young blind woman who sells flowers on the street (a magical Virginia Cherrill) and mistakes him for a millionaire. Though this Depression-era smash was made after the advent of sound, Chaplin remained steadfast in his love for the expressive beauty of the pre-talkie form. The result was the epitome of his art and the crowning achievement of silent comedy.;
