City Lights (Criterion Collection)

With the sound revolution in full swing, Charles Chaplin pressed on to complete this feature comedy as a silent--and rendered a huge hit and enduring classic. The Little Tramp manages to charm, and be charmed by, a blind flower girl (Virginia Cherrill), and finds he may have the means to help her through his new comradeship with a hard-drinking millionaire (Harry Myers). Plenty of laughs, and a poignant, unforgettable ending. 87 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono; audio commentary; featurettes; production footage; deleted scenes; theatrical trailer. Silent with music score. Two-disc set.
