User Comments:

An MGM Classic., 7 February 2001
Author: Eric Albert Redfearn (e.redfearn@ntlworld.com) from Middlesbrough, Teesside, U.K.

This is probably THE version of Charles Dickens classic story. Wonderfully acted and produced, there isn't a dull moment. The sad ending is tastefully done. Ronald Coleman, probably one of the finest actors around at that time played the tragic Carton with great skill. You just couldn't help but feel for him as he gives his life for Lucy.
