27. City Lights: Act 3 Love at first sight Charles Chaplin reshot the scene 342 times, as he could not find a satisfactory way of showing that the blind flower-girl thought that the mute tramp was wealthy

28. City Lights Chaplin's films age so well, I think, because his situations grow out of basic human hungers such as lust, greed, avarice. Those are the hungers on the other side, of course -- the side inhabited by policemen, millionaires, mayors and boxing promoters. All Charlie sends up against them Is his little Tramp, eternally hopeful, concerned only with escaping from the dilemma of the moment. Roger Ebert / February 25, 1972

29. City Lights: Key Points Extensive use of close-ups. Sophisticated composition. Sophisticated plot development. Sophisticated ending. Characters other than The Little Fellow are simple caricatures.
