City Lights (1931)
dir: Charles Chaplin
The plot centers around Chaplin's Tramp, broke and homeless, and a poor blind girl whom the tramp sees selling flowers on the street. He falls in love with her and when the girl mistakes him for a millionaire he keeps up the charade. Earlier in the film he had talked a drunken millionaire out of committing suicide and a running gag throughout the film is that when the millionaire is drunk he is the best of friends with the tramp right up until he sobers up and cannot remember him.
