A TALE OF TWO CITIES
February 3, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

Ronald Colman and Reginald Owen star in this 1935 adaptation of the Charles Dickens novel. It’s a very strong adaptation, but that shouldn’t be too surprising. Of all the authors who have put stories to paper, Dickens is the one whose works have been translated to film and TV the most successfully – and among the most often, because they’re so deliciously cinematic, and so bursting with interesting characters.
