Had to read this in 8th grade, in 1975, and have read it once nearly every year since. Yes, it's long and involved but fantastic characters. Billie Whitelaw, who portrayed Madame DeFarge was so cold. Wish they jad had the time for the full speech Lucie gives her father as she holds him, "...weep for it, weep for it..." when speaking of the wasted years. Thank you for uploading this.
What????? It is one of the greatest books ever written, a personal favorite, and so well written impossible to ever get confused. The utter brilliance of Dickens' penship amalgamates into a very coherent book where he reminds the reader of previous events without ever focusing so much time to make it feel forced or distracting. Even as a male I'm forced to concede that it is such an amazing book that in its' sentimental parts caused me to shed tears. Reading it just requires respect and patience
I'm travelling with Miriam Margolyes in the theatre piece "Dicken's Women", playing piano. It has revived my appetite for Dickens and his brilliance, and I've started reading "Dombey and Son"!
Thanks, I'm watching this due to the fact that well....I honestly find it hard to understand the novel itself. And I'm having to write an essay on it. Soooo......again thank you.
That appears to be Barry Morse (Gerard from The Fugitive) playing the despicable Marquis. Peter Cushing as the old doctor; Kenneth More as Mr. Lorry; Alice Krige as Lucy; Billie Whitelaw as Madame DeFarge--familiar faces--a splendid cast. But, who played Miss Pross? I remember seeing this version years ago. Thank you so much for posting it.
@hyphymovment510 It's actually something called snuff; it's the third way to take tobacco, apart from a pipe or cigarettes. It was said to clear out your nostrils, but this way of taking tobacco died out somewhere in the 19th Century...
@mrhungmai Just use Sparknotes. Not only does that website provide a summary of each chapter, but it also goes into detail about the book's theme and symbolism.
How about a tale of two regions? Mexico and California. After a tiff, Mexico was given back, we had two regions, side by side, with equal natural resources. One region was based on the philosophies of "individual rights", and the other region by government rule (collectivism). One became the 7th largest economy in the world ( as a state), while the other had residents digging in the dirt for bugs to eat. Which philosophies do you want to live under?
Yeah me too. Maybe my reading level have gone terribly bad. The only Dicken's book I have enjoyed reading is Great Expectation. Hard Time is quite boring as well. It doesn't captivate you like G.E..
Some of these comments make me glad that in Los Angeles, we have voted down 3 tax measures to fund schools in the last two years. LAUSD is crumbling--too bad. If the school district needs computers and books, they can have bake sales.
I agreed with you the other day and got a vicious hate message form the creep. I will agree with you more today. Regardless of the name this Richard goes by, such as mo fo or Bag head 81, it is more sad than hilarious. I don't care for hate comments against women or against homosexuals. No decent person does.
Not as compelling as the BBC 1980 television series which was brilliant. The acting knocks socks off this. Please watch it if you get the chance. Its much more frightening and creepy. Madame Defarge is terrifying on the television series. Billy Whitelaw is adequate but not as malevolent.
If you want it in French or with a 'cod' French accent watch a French production if you can find one. I personally find non French speakers trying to the accented English right an embarrassment.
my teacher thinks i am going to read books 1 and 2 (241 pages) from one class period to the next. i couldnt help but laugh...i would read the book if it was at a decent pace. i think i'll just watch the movie instead...
Ahhhh, we saw this version in my English class in high school. Good book, good movie.

¡Oooooooh! ¡One of my favorite novels! Thank you very much from Mexico.

Great line up of quality film thanks
thank for posting the movie. I need to watch the movie to understand the book "A Tale of two cities" that I'm reading in class :) LOL
Thanks, I'm watching this due to the fact that well....I honestly find it hard to understand the novel itself. And I'm having to write an essay on it. Soooo......again thank you.
Same! I am trying to read the novel for my research paper but I am having such a hard time😅
+David Harvey Please try and fight through it. Its an unforgettable novel. Challenge yourself.
Thanks so much for posting the movie. I now find that this one is my favorite version!
Honestly my favorite version of this.

Great Bro,This really helps me with my literature :)
1985 was the last time I pay attention to this book...
When she faints, Mr. Lorry doesn't seem too surprised :P

How about a tale of two regions?
Mexico and California. After a tiff, Mexico was given back, we had two regions, side by side, with equal natural resources. One region was based on the philosophies of "individual rights", and the other region by government rule (collectivism).

Which philosophies do you want to live under?
Yayy! Is Dickens' birth bicentenniel!
b. February 7, 1812
105 north tower ? it is it the place where he was held prisoner?

No snuff, powdered tobacco.

Anyone know what year this was made ?
All english depiction (Dickens included) of the french revolution is a caricature !
There many event is deleted but at the end same like what i read ...thabk you
Alice Krige was and is absolutely gorgeous.
Yeah me too. Maybe my reading level have gone terribly bad. The only Dicken's book I have enjoyed reading is Great Expectation.
Hard Time is quite boring as well. It doesn't captivate you like G.E..
guys is this the same as the book or r they different
in words i mean
Thank you for sharing. Love it! :)
my favorite book by Charles Dickens.
Some of these comments make me glad that in Los Angeles, we have voted down 3 tax measures to fund schools in the last two years. LAUSD is crumbling--too bad. If the school district needs computers and books, they can have bake sales.
thats the way it was in the book. everythings in english so we can understand it.
I agreed with you the other day and got a vicious hate message form the creep. I will agree with you more today. Regardless of the name this Richard goes by, such as mo fo or Bag head 81, it is more sad than hilarious. I don't care for hate comments against women or against homosexuals. No decent person does.
the book is so damn hard to read. came here for the easy way
Why did the french guy write "blood" in english?...
You guys...I have to read the book over the Christmas break...14 days...I'm already lost xD
Read the book, then sparknote it and for notes. But reading it is nessicary.
Not as compelling as the BBC 1980 television series which was brilliant. The acting knocks socks off this. Please watch it if you get the chance. Its much more frightening and creepy. Madame Defarge is terrifying on the television series. Billy Whitelaw is adequate but not as malevolent.
Has a strong feel and resemblance to Barry Lyndon
super interesting
True. I support you.
anyone knw a torrent to download dis movie??
back in the day they used to snort tobacco out of their snuff boxes. that's what he was doing.
If anyone has read the book I made a montage of Sydney Carton.. if you want to see it go to my channel... it is my only upload
A glimpse at what the USA is becoming: a handful of rich and the rest poor. History repeats itself.
thanks alot
When they cry they are "reporting" you after they write shit, you know you have won.
I should hope so!!
Maybe some version after modern editing are so bad that it is a big waste of time?
so sad... man's inhumanity to man. It's not so different than Aspen, a feudal society, in 2014.
Robert Burns
Why people in the movie got British accent, not French.....
If you want it in French or with a 'cod' French accent watch a French production if you can find one. I personally find non French speakers trying to the accented English right an embarrassment.
ɷɷɷɷ I Haveeee Watcheddd This Movieeee Leakedddd Versionn Hereee : - t.co/SjZpZXw5gt

This fucking book -____-
Judging by your spelling; you NEED to read some books. Stop with the audio versions, stop now, your future depends on it.
what is this crap, it doesn't even follow the book, the intro is totally wrong.
not your "uploaded page" liar
