This product is a scam,
By Robert Aich "Bob" (Lithia, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Tale of Two Cities (DVD)
Despite the packaging on the box and DVD, this movie does NOT contain the Ronald Coleman classic as labeled. Instead it contains a recording of the 1952 ABC Network "Plymouth Showcase" version, with lesser actors, complete with commercials for the 1953 Plymouth.

Ronald Colman,
By
This review is from: A Tale of Two Cities (DVD)
If you like old movies with great actors this is the one to purchase. Ronald Colman is a holywood icon and will remain so for many years. It;s a geat movie with a moral that is timeless.

Wendell Makes it Worthwhile,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Tale of Two Cities (DVD)
Yes, this is a 'creaky' early-television production, which of necessity (time) guts most of Dickens' great novel. And certainly the kinescope quality of nearly 60 years ago doesn't fly by today's high-def standards. Nevertheless, this is more than worth a look thanks to the casting of Wendell Corey as Sidney Carton, Corey is one of those unsung heroes of American movies, a character actor who seldom landed a leading role but whose presence always elevated anything he appeared in. (Maybe the fact that he was himself an alcoholic---he would die in his 50s of liver ailments---made him especially appropriate to portray the noble wastrel Carton). Here he gives a quietly effective, no-frills performance scaled to the small screen and the one-hour time constriction. Also of note, the crowd-scenes in Paris are pretty impressive for a live, stage-bound TV production from 1953. Sum up: worth it for Wendell, or, if like me, you're a fan of early TV.
