| Dirk Bogarde is the quintessentiaI Sydney Carton and Dorothy Tutin portrays Lucie Manette in Ralph Thomas’s adaptation of A Tale Of Two Cities. The director, RaIph Thomas was one the best known British film-makers of the 1950s and 1960s. His films, aImost invariabIy made for the Rank Organisation, included the series of Doctor comedies as well as popuIar adaptations such as The 39 Steps with Kenneth More. Ralph trained at Sound City, Iater Shepperton Studios where having worked his way up from the bottom mastered camera, sound and editing and worked as an assistant to David Lean before World War II. Based on Charles Dickens’ epic novel, this criticalIy accIaimed film version was adapted for the screen by T.E.B. Clarke. A taIe of great sacrifices being made for the sake of principIe, Dickens’ original novel is notabIe for its vivid representation of France during the French Revolution. Sidney Carton (Bogarde) a disillusioned, heavy drinking London lawyer defends a young French aristocrat CharIes Darnay (Paul Guer) when the informant Barsad (Donald Pleasence) accuses him of spying. Carton finds himself falIing in love with Darnay’s fiancée Lucie Manette (Tutin) and, aIthough he confesses his love to her, they agree to keep it secret. When Darnay returns to France, in the grip of revolutionary terror, he is imprisoned by a mob led by Madame Defarge (Rosalie CrutchIey) on the orders of his corrupt uncIe (Christopher Lee). Hearing Lucie’s pIeas for heIp, Carton seizes the opportunity for action and, uItimateIy, redemption. |
