Byens Lys begynder med en spiddende kritik af pomp, pragt og formalitet, og slutter med en af filmhistoriens mest berømte scener. Filmen bevæger både hjerte og lattermuskler så meget, at den i 1998 indtog en plads på Det Amerikanske Filminstituts Top-100 over de bedste amerikanske film nogensinde. Talefilmene havde fået godt fodfæste, da Charles Chaplin gik imod strømmen med denne filmklassiker, der kun indeholder musik og lydeffekter, og ingen tale.

Vagabonden spiller både gadefejer, bokser, rig skabekrukke og redningsmand for en selvmorderisk millionær, og hans budskab er usagt, men forstået af alle: Kærlighed gør blind.

Filmed on 22 March 1895, it is often referred to as the first real motion picture ever made, although Louis Le Prince's 1888 Roundhay Garden Scene pre-dated it by seven years. Three separate versions of this film exist, which differ from one another in numerous ways. The first version features a carriage drawn by one horse, while in the second version the carriage is drawn by two horses, and there is no carriage at all in the third version. The clothing style is also different between the three versions, demonstrating the different seasons in which each was filmed.
