HD Digital presentation - The beginning of the sound period in the movies was “officially” 1929, but Chaplin avoided synchronized sound until this film, seven years later. The story is about the struggle of The Tramp to survive during The Great Depression. He gets a job as a singing waiter, but what can this character do, who has never uttered a sound? The ending is magnificent, but so is the rest of the film.
