In this tender comedy/drama, the Tramp is mistaken for a millionaire when he tries to help a blind flower vendor regain her sight. Despite three years of personal and artistic setbacks, Chaplin's innovative blend of slapstick and pathos resulted in his most emotionally compelling film. "At the end of City Lights, the blind girl who has regained her sight thanks to the Tramp, sees him for the first time . . . The camera just exchanges a few quiet close-ups of the emotions that shift and intensify in each face. It is enough to shrivel the heart and it is the greatest piece of acting and highest moment in movies."-James Agee.
