Description

[Machine Translation] A Tale of Two Cities", the masterpiece of Charles Dickens, one of England's greatest writers, is now available in the popular "BBC Classic Drama" series. It has been adapted to film several times, with the 1934 version nominated for an Academy Award and the 1957 version starring Dirk Bocard, making it one of the most well-known and popular. The film is an excellent TV drama that perfectly visualizes the inspiring story of a self-sacrificing man who is loved around the world and transcends the ages: the intertwined fates of the hero and the two Uri men caught in the upheaval of the French Revolution, and the shocking ending in which the hero climbs to the decapitation as a substitute for the woman he loves.
Special Feature / Bonus Track: commentary by anglicist Shigeru Koike, character bios
