Subtitled "A Comedy Romance in Pantomime," City Lights was released three years after first talkies appeared in theater. As a silent movie, it is a tribute to the recent demise of art of pantomime. With its combination of pathos and slapstick comedy, City Lights remains one of Chaplin's most popular movies.
