The boxing scene here may be my favourite ever boxing scene in any movie. 7 years 9 months ago -

Well Chris, you're well within your rights to dissent, but I have to agree with the majority - I love it.
The tramp is such an appealing character as you can't help but be on his side - he's endearing and non-threatening, he doesn't need riches, power or dashing good looks to win you over.
The ending is very touching, and the boxing scene is flawless. 9 years 7 months ago
