Rating: - Rare love
I was impressed by the dual act of Chris Sarandon.
I took one star because the movie did not show much of the characters' passion!
Two men are in love with one woman. It would be hard for her to choose so one of them scarified himself for her happiness. The movie ends with her tears (Alice Krige) as she discovers his true feelings and the sacrifice he made.
It remains one of my favorite movies!
Rating:  - True to the story

This DVD provided the same quality I had with the VHS version and made it much easier to navigate throughout the movie, especially when three different classes were watching it throughout the day.
Rating: - A Tale of Two Cities DVD
I teach French and ESL and found this depiction of Charles Dickens' tale of the French Revolution an excellent addition to my personal video library.
Rating: - Spirited production of a classic tale
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 ... Read More
