François Truffaut (1932-1984), once the most influential critic of the French New Wave, became a brilliant, prolific, and uncompromising director, creating 25 films in 25 years. Internationally honored and beloved for his poignant, often irresistibly wry view of the human condition, Truffaut embodied the auteur's intimate grasp of the film medium. This documentary package - a special supplement to Truffaut's films in The Criterion Collection - is a multi-feature tribute that includes Truffaut's rare 1957 film, Les Mistons - which foreshadowed The 400 Blows.

Griffith's The New York Hat, filmed at the studios in Fort Lee.

City Lights would not be a talking picture, but it would have a soundtrack. Chaplin personally composed a musical score and sound effects for the picture. With Peter Lord, the famous co-creator of Chicken Run and Wallace & Gromit, we see how Chaplin became the king of slapstick comedy and the superstar of the movies.
