About A Tale of Two Cities
Set against the conditions leading up to the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror, French doctor Alexandre Manette serves an 18-year imprisonment in the Bastille in Paris, followed by his release to live in London with the daughter he has never met.
Directed by Jack Conway, A Tale of Two Cities leans on a strong ensemble — Ronald Colman, Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about history titles of 1935.
