Product: A Tale of Two Cities (Masterpiece Theatre) (2001)
Rating: 2.0
And you thought reading the book in high school was a killer
Just try sitting through this humdrum, humorless, dramaless lash-up. It is a far, far better thing to rent the 1935 Ronald Colman version. It is a far, better rest you will get while sleeping through this travesty. Masterpiece Theater got the Emperor's New Clothes instead of A Tale of Two Cities. Madame Defarge as a pin-up model, indeed. Switch her with Miss Pross and you've got it. Avoid this movie at all costs. 5 stars for putting your English class to sleep, teachers.
