Episode 57 - City Lights

September 20, 2015 by Matthew Johnson

City Lights was a silent film in the era of talkies. Charlie Chaplin believed that people would come to his movies despite the fact that "silent movies were dead" after The Jazz Singer was released. And he was right! It's a great movie. In fact, the closing scene may be one of the best ever filmed!
