Summary: (spoiler alert)
Charmingly simple story of The Little Tramp who meets a lovely blind
girl selling flowers on the sidewalk who mistakes him for a wealthy
duke. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets
off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. In a series of
comedy adventures that only Chaplin could pull off, he eventually
succeeds, even though his efforts land him in jail. While he is there,
the girl has the operation and afterwards yearns to meet her benefactor.
The tear-inducing closing scene, in which she discovers that he is not a
wealthy duke but only The Little Tramp, is one of the highest moments
in movies.
This was by far the best Charlie Chaplin movie I've seen. It was funny and so sweet. If you in the mood or wanting to a silent movie, this would be at the top of my list!
