Viewing Notes
Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights (1931) was a blindspot I sought to correct. And it’s everything and then some. The tramp saves a rich drunkard from committing suicide and instantly becomes his drunk buddy. That’s to say, the wealthy douchebag only remembers the tramp when he’s drunk. During this friendship the tramp gets involved with a blind girl and attempts to earn money for her that includes a riotous amateur boxing match. Highly recommended for the obvious.
