dvd please

The acting in this version is superb. Please release this on dvd!

Great

This is my favorite movie version. All the actors and actresses are so colorful and real. Carton was played so well, with such pathos. Even the servent girl at the end wondering why she was dying, but trying to be brave. And Madam Defarge - such a hard woman - one I wouldn't want to face in a dark alley - but very convincing.

I absolutely love this movie.

Extremely Moving

Unlike some of the other reviewers, I thought this presentation was far superior to the Ronald Coleman version. I believe that Chris Sarandon showed a much wider range of emotion and feeling in the Carton role than did Coleman. Moreover, the person in the Coleman version playing Charles Darney hardly resembled Carton, which was essential for one to believe that such an ending could occur. Further, in this version, I could actually believe that Carton had found some semblence of peace and joy in the sacrifice he had made--dying--so that the person he loved would be happy. Up to then his life was a mess--dissipation, cynicism, and recklessness. It shows how genuine love can sometimes turn a person's life completely around.
