City Lights
Metropolis after dark
City Lights is Charlie Chaplin's 1931 silent romantic comedy, widely considered one of the greatest films ever made.
The Tramp falls for a blind flower girl who mistakes him for a wealthy man.
The film's ending—a long close-up as she recognizes him—is among cinema's most celebrated scenes.
City Lights also names the influential San Francisco bookstore and publisher founded by Lawrence Ferlinghetti in 1953, a landmark of Beat literature.
