Charlie Chaplin’s pinnacle film City Lights—a masterpiece from the end of the silent film era—comes alive in a screening accompanied by a live orchestra performing Chaplin’s own score. Performing in the College of Charleston Sottile Theatre, which opened as a movie house just a few years before City Lights came out in 1931, Conductor William Eddins leads the Spoleto Festival USA Orchestra in Chaplin’s charming and heartfelt music. He talks with Jeanette Guinn about the movie, the score, and conducting "City Lights."
