A Tale Of Two Cities - Special Edition DVD   ITV

Bogarde is perfectly cast as Sydney Carton in this masterly adaptation of Charles Dicken's renowned French Revolution epic. Faithfully adapted from the novel, the film follows the fortunes of Carton, a disillusioned lawyer, whose world is turned upside down when events in France encroach on his decadent London life. Asked to defend a young French aristocrat named Darnay (Paul Guers), Carton finds himself falling in love with Darney's fiancee Lucie Manette (Dorothy Tutin). When Darney returns to France, he is imprisoned by a revolutionary mob. Carton seizes the opportunity for action and, ultimately, redemption. This gripping take features an outstanding supporting cast including Christopher Lee, Ian Bannen, Alfie Bass, Athene Seyler, Leo McKern, Cecil Parker, Donald Pleasence and Stephen Murray.
