Tue 14 Aug 7.30pm

Bracknell Film Society Dir. Charles Chaplin, US, 1931, 84 mins Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee

A tramp falls in love with a blind flower girl. Arguably the biggest risk of Chaplin's career, being made after sound came in, this silent masterpiece is littered with the usual sight gags but also delicate moments. The final scene, still powerful, vindicates his decision to stay silent.

Mingled with mirth in a production of admirable artistry and proving the eloquence of silence

MORDAUNT HALL, NY TIMES, 1931

Bracknell Film Society is delighted to welcome Jillian Jenkins who will play an improvised piano accompaniment to the film.
