Tale Of Two Cities, A (1935) Rating: Starring: Basil Rathbone, Edna May Oliver, Elizabeth Allan, Blanche Yurka, Reginald Owen, Henry B. Walthall, Ronald Colman Director: Jack Conway Category: Drama Studio: Warner Bros. Subtitles: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese Length: 126 mins     "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...." Charles Dickens' tale of love and tumult during the French Revolution comes to the screen in a sumptuous film version by the producer famed for nurturing sprawling literary works: David O. Selznick (David Copperfield, Anna Karenina, Gone with the Wind). Ronald Colman (The Prisoner of Zenda) stars as Sydney Carton sardonic, dissolute, a wastrel...and destined to redeem himself in an act of courageous sacrifice. "It's a far, far better thing I do than I've ever done," Carton muses at that defining moment. This is far, far better filmmaking, too: a Golden Era marvel of uncanny performances top to bottom, eye-filling crowd scenes (the storming of the Bastille, thronged courtrooms, an eerie festival of public execution) and lasting emotional power. Revolution is in the air!
