Description:City Lights, the most cherished film by Charlie Chaplin, is also his ultimate Little Tramp chronicle. The writer-director-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.
"City Lights," presented in this Criterion Blu-Ray edition, is a timeless masterpiece from the golden age of cinema. Directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin, this 1931 romantic comedy blends slapstick humor with poignant emotion, following the iconic Tramp as he falls for a blind flower girl and befriends an eccentric millionaire. The Criterion Collection is renowned for its meticulous restorations and insightful supplements that celebrate cinematic artistry; their release ensures "City Lights" shines brighter than ever in high-definition clarity. Charlie Chaplin, one of film history?s most influential figures, not only directed but also wrote and starred in "City Lights." His career spans classics such as "Modern Times," "The Gold Rush," and "The Great Dictator." Virginia Cherrill delivers a touching performance as the flower girl?her role here remains her most celebrated work. Harry Myers plays the unpredictable millionaire with memorable flair. Behind the scenes, Rollie Totheroh's cinematography captures every nuance of Chaplin?s vision. This ensemble helped cement "City Lights" as one of cinema?s greatest achievements.
