CITY LIGHTS - 1931

Who does not think this scene of Charlie Chaplin in the boxing ring was not hysterical. The choreography alone was outstanding, the funniest part for me was when Charlie got the rope twisted around his neck and the bell kept going off.

This scene is City Lights is funny when Charlie realizes that instead of pulling at the yarn she starts pulling at his underclothes, why he (the tramp) did not correct the flower girl is a mystery? Although Kip Harness author of The Art of Charlie Chaplin (a film by film analysis) thinks maybe since the tramp was playing at being a rich man - he would not have loose threads hanging off his clother,

BOXING SCENE FROM CITY LIGHTS…
Charlie is trying to stay behind the referee and avoid a beating by any means necessary.
Hank Mann is the other boxer, he and Charlie were both at Keystone in 1914.

While City Lights is most famously known for the tramp meeting the flower girl at the beginning and most famously at the end of City Lights, this boxing scene is one of the highlights as well, it is brilliantly choreographed by Charlie Chaplin (be reported it took over a month) and absolutely hysterical.
