Summary

Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities, published in 1859, is one of the great novels of the Victorian age. And Sydney Carton, here played by Laurence Olivier, is one of the most loveable and human of all Dickens’ characters. Carton, the gifted, drunken, self-loathing lawyer, loves Lucie Manette. He has no love for her future husband, Charles Darnay. Yet, amid the horror and violence of Revolutionary France, he sacrifices his life for Darnay out of his love for Lucie. “It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.”
