1914年夏天，伦敦一所单身公寓。芭蕾舞女演员塞瑞拉·安布罗斯（克莱尔·布鲁姆 Claire Bloom饰）在自己的房间里，打开煤气企图自杀。万幸的是，喝得醉醺醺，刚回家的邻居卡尔费罗（查理·卓别林 Charles Chaplin饰）正好救了她。等赛瑞拉苏醒以后，卡尔费罗才得知她是因为患了风湿不能再跳舞，才产生轻生的念头。而卡尔费罗曾经是一名伟大的喜剧演员。他悉心的照料着赛瑞拉，并用自己的滑稽喜剧打消了她自杀的想法。六个月后，赛瑞拉重新成功的站了起来，并在一出芭蕾剧中担当重要角色。可赛瑞拉却与一名作曲家陷入了热恋，卡尔费罗只能默默的祝福他们，独自上演他的含泪喜剧。本片的主题曲为卓别林亲自操刀制作，以其优美动人的旋律，荣获1973年第45届奥斯卡金像奖，最佳原创配乐（剧情类）。

导演点评：我听了当时大红大紫的“KEME子之歌”之后觉得这首歌挺可爱的，因此就拍了这部作品。本片时至今日仍然很受女孩子的欢迎呢。
