City Lights - The Criterion Collection [PG] Blu-ray

The most cherished film by CHARLIE CHAPLIN (Modern Times) 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.Digital restoration from a 4K film transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackNew audio commentary by Charlie Chaplin biographer Jeffrey VanceChaplin Today: City Lights, a 2003 documentary on the film's production, featuring Aardman Animations cofounder Peter LordChaplin Studios: Creative Freedom by Design, a new interview program featuring visual effects expert Craig Bar... - Manufacturers part number: The Criterion Collection_CC2601BDUK
