The movie is in excellent conditions and got here a lot faster than I expected.

Better as romance than slapstick
Added 7/23/2009
The Bottom Line:
A serious film that's marred by some underwhelming scenes of slapstick (though to be honest the boxing scene is really pretty well done), City Lights deserve to be remembered for the wonderfully sweet scenes between the blind woman and the tramp, not the crazy hijinks that ensue for the other half of the film.
3/4

THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Added 6/23/2009
I still remember seeing this movie at a Charlie Chaplin film festival in New York City in the 1970's. I went to laugh and to be see a great comedy ( which I did ) ,but, I left the Movie Theatre in TEARS !!!!!!!!!!. I actually sat there for a few minutes after the film ended in disbelief. Up to that point my favorite Chaplin films were from the Mutual Series ( I still love them),but, nothing - nothing could compare with "City Lights". a MUST SEE film for EVERYONE !!!!!!!!!!!...My favorite film ---"City Lights "

A one-man virtuoso performance ...
Added 1/30/2009
Once again Chaplin plays his famous creation, the beloved Tramp... The noble Little Fellow meets and falls in love with a blind flower girl... She assumes he is wealthy man and offers him a flower, which he attentively accepts with his last penny...
One night by chance he rescues a drunken millionaire from drowning... The rich gentleman becomes a generous friend when drunk but doesn't recognize the tramp when sober... Chaplin takes the blind girl under his wing, and takes flight with the millionaire's money to cure her blindness...
"City Lights" engaged a true genius in a graceful and touching performance which arouses profound feelings and joy with great simplicity of style and tragic tale... Each scene was the result of hard-working detail and planning...

City Lights is regarded by many as Chaplin's best film. It is a serio-comedy that will make you laugh and make you cry.
