City Lights (1931)

For our first official milestone of 2021, we’re discussing
Charlie Chaplin’s classic silent film City Lights, which this
month celebrates its 90th anniversary since release. This
long-celebrated romantic comedy was of course written, directed,
and produced by Chaplin, who also stars in it as his iconic
character, the Tramp. Along for the ride is Virginia Cherrill as
the blind girl who wins the Tramp’s heart, Florence Lee as her
grandmother, Harry Myers as the drunken millionaire, and plenty
more.
