Chaplin's classic. Some people claim it's the greatest film of all time. It's a perfectly decent, sweet comedy with Charlie helping a blind girl regain her sight. This stuff is hokey but completely works and Virginia Cherrill is lovely as a the girl. Harry Myers is very funny as a millionaire who only recognises Chaplin when he's drunk. The fake fight is funny but why not make it more essential to the story? You could cut it out. The ending is lovely.
