A Tale of Two Cities (1935) More at IMDbPro »

(1935) Ronald Colman does a far, far better thing than he has ever done as the sardonic and dissolute Sydney Carton in the classic adaptation of Charles Dickens' French Revolution drama directed by Jack Conway and lavishly produced by David Selznick, who earned an Oscar nomination for Best Picture. Elizabeth Allan, Edna May Oliver, Reginald Owen, and Basil Rathbone co-star.

Five classic literary adaptations from the Golden Age of Hollywood, available in a box set or individually. David Selznick produced the lavish MGM adaptations of Charles Dickens' David Copperfield (1935), starring Freddie Bartholomew and W.C. Fields, and A Tale of Two Cities (1935), starring Ronald Colman. Greer Garson is the spirited Elizabeth and Laurence Olivier is the stiff Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (1940), Jackie Cooper and Wallace Beery headline Treasure Island (1934), and Norma Shearer is Marie Antoinette (1938), co-starring Tyrone Power, John Barrymore, and Robert Morley.
