A Tale of Two Cities review
Posted : 5 years, 4 months ago on 14 July 2019 02:34 (A review of A Tale of Two Cities)There are no words adequate enough to praise the fine performances in this film dealing with the French Revolution.
Ronald Colman is memorable as Sidney Carton, an alcoholic lawyer, who gave up his life to save the husband (Donald Woods) of the woman he loved. The woman, played by Elizabeth Allan, was strong in emotion and very appealing.

“I really enjoyed this little book. It's a children's book, but I think there is sufficient humor and twists and turns within it, to entertain certain young at heart adults. It's about a little girl who leads a miserable existence until she discovers a magical, secret world. She and her dog go on an” read more
“In his glorious Bringing Up Baby, Howard Hawks ratchets screwball comedy up to its tautest and springiest level. In clumsier hands, screwball all too often gallops into the frenetic, fraying the nerves; Hawks maintains a presto pace, but never lets the mixups and misunderstandings grow implausible h” read more
“Charles Dickens would have stood up and applauded had he seen this fabulous 1935 version of his classic tale.
There are no words adequate enough to praise the fine performances in this film dealing with the French Revolution.

“This is a pleasant, funny classic that shows it age only slightly, and that has a lot of scenes you can look forward to each time that you see it. Gable and Colbert each get roles that are nicely suited to them, and are well-remembered for their performances. The supporting cast also rounds out the ” read more
“Garson Kanin's best films are so bright, fast and funny, and have been plundered by so many pallid, feel-good imitators, that it's easy to overlook how courageously critical they can be, of prevailing social norms, for instance, what society takes to be normal - 'natural' - about crucial concepts li” read more
“The excellent play by Phillip Barry, is the basis for the delightful transfer to the screen. The choice of George Cukor as its director seems to have been made in heaven. Indeed, Mr. Cukor clearly understood what was needed to make this film the classic it became. George Cukor's contribution, as wel” read more
“Cary Grant is at his most charming and gives a very amusing and, at times, very very touching performance as a new dad. When he gives his heart-rending speech to the child custody judge and begs to keep his adopted baby girl, it brings a lump to my throat every time I see it. Irene Dunne was a class” read more
“Mae West and W.C. Fields together for the first and only time - and how wonderfully they work together. They really fire off each other and they also look great - Mae's costumes are splendid. There are many memorable scenes - Mae gunning down scores of Indians from a train, W.C. cheating at cards et” read more
“Considered by many to be Mae West's finest film appearance, the legendary star of the stage and screen has rarely been in better form than in this seminal film. Based on her own stage hit. West and director Wesley Ruggles wisely keep the focus on the then-salty dialogue and the still hilarious word” read more
“One of the seeming paradoxes of film-making is that historical period pieces age much better than movies set in the present or the future. That certainly is true of this classic comedy. Co-written by its star as a play called "Diamond Lil" about a turn-of-the-century chanteuse with no shame and her ” read more
“This is a masterpiece of a film, I absolutely love this. Julie Andrews is more than splendid as the nanny, and I absolutely love her voice. Dick Van Dyke, despite the accent, should have gotten an award for his performance for sheer energy and enthusiasm, but I liked him marginally better in Chitty ” read more
“Reactions to this, James Whale's ageless masterpiece, are varied; some say it just could be the Greatest Horror Film Ever Made, some think it's just an overblown tongue-in-cheek comedy sham. Probably Whale himself would have been the first to label his picture a "farce", but count me among those who” read more
“One of the best directors ever makes one of the best films ever: Howard Hawks makes "Scarface". Everything is outstanding in this masterpiece of cinema, the exciting, neatly told story of the raise and fall of Tony Camonte (Al Capone's alter-ego). Powerful script, magnificent black and white photogr” read more
“This is where Lynda Carter got her start. Prior of becoming the Amazing Amazon(Wonder Woman), she plays Bobbie Jo Baker in "Bobbie Jo and The Outlaw". In this film, she starts off as a choosy woman who wants to get away from the small town of life, and explore more than what she sees. At the car hop” read more
“Lynda Carter seemed to hit her stride in the part as the series continued and she is often so charming and innocent that you can't help but like her. Her values and strength of character are idealistic, but they're also missing in today's female heroes, who are so dark sometimes, they lose their cha” read more
“The format of this novel and the cyclical oral tradition/literary mashup that King presents us with is fantastic, interesting, and satirical of canon, as well as Western & Native cultures. The three levels of narration are intriguing and although they may complicate the story at times, they provide ” read more
“Absolutely mad but beautifully so! From the man who wrote "Graceful fat Sheba, she works with a meat cleaver, sweating behind the meat counter..." comes a book of poems that play with words, twisting them, turning them, growing them into unexpected shapes and patterns and creating a deliciously craz” read more
“Rudolph Valentino's breakthrough role as Julio is in some ways his best, and it's a shame that this film isn't better known to day. A large part of the film is devoted to the decline in fortunes of Madrigal's French son-in-law after he returns to France with his family, but the most memorable porti” read more
