Bright lights, big city

On May 1, make plans to join CineVerse for the kickoff to the May/June schedule and the initial installment of a new monthly feature that will continue for the next several months: Triple Talent Pioneers: filmmakers who wrote, directed, produced (and sometimes starred in) their movies.

Up first in this series is City Lights” (1931; 87 minutes), directed by Charles Chaplin, one of the funniest and sweetest movies you will ever see. Plus, following the movie, enjoy an excerpt from a documentary on the brilliant career of Chaplin.
