Good adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel.
Set in Paris and London before and during the French Revolution, the story of how the Revolution, and the build-up to it, ultimately affects the lives of several people. One is a former French aristocrat, Charles Darnay (played by Donald Woods). Others include his father, wife, father-in-law and the French population in general.
Entertaining, engaging and intriguing. Also examines reasonably well the causes for the Revolution, and the fascist, overreacting, overreaching consequences of it.
Solid performances all round.
Worth watching, at the very least in that this is quicker than reading the book...
