About
A TALE OF TWO CITIES (1935)
restored classic with soundtrack, 128 minutes.
Tickets: $25/$20
(T 0419 267 318)
It may be 99 years old, but the 1935 adaptation is a far, far better film version of Charles Dickens' immortal novel than any other version. Memorable performances by Ronald Colman and his supporting cast, a literate script, and spirited direction faithfully honour this richly entertaining story of love, honour, revenge, and sacrifice set during the French Revolution. A remastered transfer and lossless audio showcase all the drama, spectacle, and priceless Dickensian charm of this motion picture classic, which comes highly recommended. Australian born Billy Bevan plays a key role in the cast.
A pair of lookalikes, one a former French aristocrat and the other an alcoholic English lawyer, fall in love with the same woman amongst the turmoil of the French Revolution. A rewarding film that still dazzles the senses and tugs the heartstrings. The emotional power of Carton’s farewell, “It’s a far, far better thing that I do than I’ve ever done……..”, completes the film. This classic from Hollywood’s Golden years continues to reward its audiences.
