City Lights  (Movie, DVD)

Talkies were well entrenched when Charles Chaplin swam against the filmmaking tide with this forever classic that?s silent except for music and sound effects. The story involving the Tramp?s attempts to get money for an operation that will restore sight to blind flower girl provides the star with an ideal framework for5 sentiment and laughs. The Tramp is variously a street sweeper, a boxer, a rich poseur and a rescuer of a suicidal millionaire. His message is unspoken, but universally understood: love is blind.
