Die Nächte einer schönen Frau

The reissue of this film, with a musical score and new cut by Sir Charles Chaplin, was the last work of his entire film career. By then, the 87-year-old Chaplin was visibly frail but still walking. His score was aided by arranger Eric James, and he took a small theme from Der Heiratsschwindler von Paris (1947), but most of the score was Chaplin's. The film was reissued posthumously in 1977 with the new score to overwhelming critical and public praise. At that time, many critics praised it (as in the trailer) as one of the best films ever made.

During 1976, Chaplin was preparing a reissue of A Woman of Paris/Sunnyside but died before completion. The project was completed after his death, and the films were reissued in the United States by Kino International Corp. in 1978. This version, however, dispensed with an opening subtitle, as well as a few brief insert shots.
