Chaplin's classic about the Tramp in love with a blind flower girl is a perfect blend of comedy and drama, and one of the most haunting love stories on film. Chaplin stretches his screen persona to the farthest limits of humor and pathos while zealously preserving the silent-screen heritage in the talking era. Judith Crist described it as "Chaplin's finest work. A masterpiece that epitomizes his creative genius." The musical score was composed by Chaplin. 35mm
