Another one of The Tramp's adventures in film, an what a lovely one! In this City Lights, The Tramp tries to help a poor and blind flower girl he has fallen in love with. So many great scenes where Chaplin delivered a magnificient and touching performance once again. Comedy, drama and romance all mixed together to create a beautiful piece of cinema. Written, directed, scored and performed by the incredible Charlie Chaplin.
