I'm not ordinary! I'm extra-ordinary!!!.....An egotistical romp not to be equalled in cinema. One can only pity the poor, dead, real Lawrence, who is probably rolling over in his grave as we speak.

Because family tragedies are just so fun to watch.
Tale of Two Cities [VHS]Tale of Two Cities [VHS]

A CRIME this is not on DVD. Fabulous film for all. It's about duty, but palatable and believable. Ronald Colman was a genius. And sexy to boot. "tis a far, far, better thing" than the other versions.
