Movie Reviews of A Tale of Two Cities
Movie Review: The epitome of classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a magnificent film of a wonderful book. The casting and acting are superb. Ronald Coleman as Sidney Carton has his best role. Edna Mae Oliver almost steals the movie as Miss Pross. She dominates every scene she is in. The lady who plays Mdm. DeFarge created a film character that any other actress could only envy. The storming of the Bastile had to be a major advance in epic filming for its day.
Most importantly, this film represents a value and quality in film that is never equalled in today's "see it and forget it" movies. I have not seen any other versions of "A Tale of Two Cities," but this is the gold standard.
Movie Review: Greatest Version of A Tale of Two Cities Ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is by far the best of A Tale of Two Cities. It was made by the great MGM studios and David O. Selznick the same year and about the same time that they made David Copperfield was. I can only imagine how fun it must been creating these two wonderful films on the backlot at the same time. Many of the same character actors are in both pictures. This picture is the one I prefer. After all it has the wonderful Ronald Colman as the charismatic Sydney. How could Lucy prefer Charles over him? Ok, I know that Sydney drinks but he has style! I personally prefer this film over the book but don't tell anyone. Ok?!Movie Review: It's most certainly a far,far better thing...
Summary: 5 Stars
I see that so many people have reviewed this wonderful movie.So I only feel inclined to comment the final words/thoughts of Sidney Carton as delivered by one of the best actors I've ever had the pleasure of watching.These few words uttered by a lesser actor would most likely have proved to be the ultimate kitsch,but Ronald Colman just drains his most versatile and beautiful voice of all its colour in order to reveal these words' sincerety and ultimate beauty.They are so plain that one senses how deep inside they must stem from.MagnificentMovie Review: A Tale of Two Cities
Summary: 5 Stars
Finding this movie on DVD was first a surprise and then a genuine pleasure. This is a time honored story brought to life on the screen with an excellent performance by Ronald Colman and a superb supporting cast. A Tale of Two Cities is a literary classic on its own merit but the cinematic version is just a pleasure and worth every penny for those that treasure movies from the Golden Age of Hollywood. For devoted movie collectors this is a "must-have".Movie Review: "a far better thing I do"
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the great classics of old Hollywood and perhaps the greatest film version of any of Dickens' works (and there have been many fine ones!).
When people say they don't make them like that anymore they are or should be referring to a film like this.
Ronald Colman gives a superb perfomance in this moving tale of injustice, revolution, rage, vengeance, love and sacrifice. You MUST see this movie!!
