Gerald Smith revisits the Californian locations of Charlie Chaplin’s classic silent films. With his collaborators, Smith compulsively searches for these places, and records them with photos, stories and videos.

'City lights' (1931): Tramp (Charlie Chaplin) and Millionaire (Harry Myers) in 'night of adventure' sequence. [image from Chaplin film locations web site]. The same location in 2001. [image from Chaplin film locations web site].
