Any reason the current main image is a still from the film and not the theatrical release poster? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.195.165.253 (talk) 20:24, 28 February 2019 (UTC)
I changed a paragraph that implied the girl's dreams were dashed upon realizing her benefactor was a tramp. I don't think it mattered either way to her. I think she was 1) just happy to finally meet the dude, and 2) maybe a little surprised that her dude was a man of such modest means. At any rate, she was touched and joyful... nothing dashed or disappointed about it.
The love theme of City Lights, the Leitmotif of the blind girl, is José Padilla's "La violetera". Only after a trial for plagiarism, in Paris, Chaplin finally admitted the facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.216.157.226 (talk) 05:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Although there are many references to the fact that prominent people praised the film, there is little discussion of why. Among all the studies, there must be discussions of why the film is so moving. It would be useful to have that content, and not just ranking lists.Parkwells (talk) 16:22, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
IMDb says that there are two actresses named Florence Lee: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0497265/?ref_=nmbio_trv_2 and http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5681967/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1. Who played the role of the Grandmother. While this article states that it's the Florence Lee born in 1888, the appereance and age of the Grandmother's character belong more to the other Florence Lee who played "motherly roles". --Clibenfoart (talk) 22:36, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
I talked about this with Xquenda on the German wikipedia.
Two years have passed and I checked Florence Lee at IMDb, and there is now a birth/death year: 1864-1933. Sounds quite plausible. --Clibenfoart (talk) 15:52, 7 February 2017 (UTC)
As of 2019, it seems like there is some kind of consensus here that she is indeed Florence Lee born in 1864, I took the liberty to correct an internal link inserted in 2012 by an IP contributor that was still linking to the other one. Not a regular contributor here, please correct if I did wrong. Icéön Ereminet (talk) 23:58, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

There are a bunch of S. Asian movies dumped into this section, seemingly without rhyme or reason. Perhaps we should delete them? Gibbousmoon100 (talk) 01:34, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
