A good interpretation of the Dickens classic.
Good TV movie based on Dickens
A Tale of Two Cities is a very good novel,though I like it a bit less than Oliver Twist or Great Expectations.Charles and Sydney are played by the same actor since they look the same and the job on making sure who is who should have been done better.The Bastille scene should have been more intense.Chris Sarandon did a great job as Sydney,but a bit boring as Charles.The rest of the cast is great.Sets and costumes are nice.The ending is moving as it should be.Overall,very good movie based on A Tale of Two Cities 7/10
