Suspicion and espionage swirl amid look-alike suitors, unrequited love and the clash of the French Revolution in this Masterpiece Theatre adaptation of Charles Dickens's classic novel A Tale of Two Cities. When Charles Darnay is accused of spying, he's unexpectedly freed by a stranger who could be his twin. But in addition to their looks, the men share something else: their love for a beautiful woman.
