FILM 1272: CITY LIGHTS
TRIVIA: Orson Welles said that
this was his favorite movie of all time.
At the beginning of the film, a
town official and a woman dedicating the statue can be heard uttering
nondescript words by way of a paper reed mouth instrument. The sounds were made
by Charles Chaplin and this
was the first time that his voice was heard on film.
When the film opened on 31 January
1931, Albert Einstein joined Charles Chaplin at the
theater. When the film opened in England, George Bernard Shaw joined
him.
