why is it called City Lights?


Just saw it. Great movie. Don't get the title. I don't remember him being in the city at night for that matter.

It's called "City Lights," because the title, "Toodles Visits the Circus," was already taken.

Maybe because it's a little overwhelming for someone who has never been to the "big city" to see all the lights of the city for the first time?

Does that tie in to the blind girl finally being able to see everything for the first time?

Who the eff knows? That's just my opinion.
