Review of City Lights (1931) by Dave Kehr for Chicago Reader — 09 Jun 1960
A beautiful example of Chaplin's ability to turn narrative fragments into emotional wholes. The two halves of the film are sentiment and slapstick. They are not blended but woven into a pattern as eccentric as it is sublime.
