is paris the city of love or the city of lights
Paris Paris is often referred to as The City of Light (La Ville Lumière),[22] both because of its leading role during the Age of Enlightenment, and more literally because Paris was one of the first European cities to adopt gas street lighting.[citation needed] In the 1860s, the boulevards and streets of Paris were illuminated by 56,000 gas lamps.[23] Since the late 19th century, Paris has also been known as Panam(e) (pronounced [panam]) in French slang.[24]
City Lights Although sound films were on the rise when Chaplin started developing the script in 1928, he decided to continue working with silent productions. Filming started in December 1928 and ended in September 1930. City Lights marked the first time Chaplin composed the film score to one of his productions and it was written in six weeks with Arthur Johnston. The main theme, used as a leitmotif for the blind flower girl, is the song "La Violetera" ("Who’ll Buy my Violets") from Spanish composer José Padilla. Chaplin lost a lawsuit to Padilla for not crediting him.
