** Also very much with the millionaire. When the latter is drunk, he is very physically affectionate with the Tramp, repeatedly hugging and kissing him, and the two [[BedmateReveal even end up waking up in bed next to one another]] after a night of debauchery. When he's sober, he doesn't recognize (or [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation pretends not to recognize]] the Tramp. This behavior is [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything reminiscent of a closeted gay person who is only able to reveal their sexual identity while intoxicated and returns to denying it when they sober up]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "La Violetera" is the main theme used as a {{leitmotif}} for the blind flower girl, one of the film's central characters. The music was composed by José Padilla in 1914. Lyrics were later written by Eduardo Montesinos and interpreted and popularized by the Spanish singer Raquel Meller. Creator/CharlieChaplin couldn't give Raquel Meller (the original song performer) the lead role in the film, but he used her song anyway as a major theme.

* ProtectionFromEditors: Since Creator/CharlieChaplin owned his own studio, he was able to control every aspect of the production. He could take his time and go at his own pace, spending as much time and money as he saw fit to get things done to his satisfaction. He demanded excellence from everyone working with him, but most of all he demanded it of himself.
