Movie Reviews of A Tale of Two Cities
Movie Review: Spirited production of a classic tale
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very welcome release to DVD at last, Hallmark's sterling production of A Tale of Two Cities, with a standout cast, stellar costumes and sets, a vivid adaptation of the original novel, and fast-paced direction. Interest never lags as this rich drama unfolds, set against the sweeping backdrop of the French Revolution. Sarandon convincingly carries off his double role as both the noble Darnay and the dissipated Carton and Billie Whitelaw gives a bravura performance as the ferocious revolutionary leader Madame DeFarge, poisoned by her hatred of aristocrats. There isn't a bad performance anywhere, although Alice Krige is perhaps a bit *too* pale and wan, even for a sweet-natured "English rose" character. Peter Cushing produces genuine pathos as Dr. Manet and the final sequence in the tumbril, where Carton redeems a life misspent, is quietly poignant. There's even some humor amid the blood and thunder and treachery. History teachers would find much in here to use in the classroom. A marvelous retelling of a great epic.
