Rank 4 of 100
A Tale of Two Cities
Synopsis
London and Paris share one story in the years running up to the French Revolution and through the Terror that follows. A look-alike, a buried sentence, and a wasted man who has never been useful become the hinges of a plot about what a private life is worth when a crowd starts keeping score.
