City Lights

CriticsCritics: 97
AudienceAudience: 8.4

A struggling tramp falls for a blind flower seller and tries to help her improve her life. His unlikely friendship with a wealthy, troubled man gives him opportunities to pursue her affection, while comic misadventures challenge his hopes and determination.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate heartfelt silent comedy, visual gags, and tender romance, especially in The Gold Rush or Modern Times; Not for you if you need dialogue-driven stories or complex plotting.
