The finale to A Tale of Two Cities with Ronnie Colman

[@Cornerstones1883]

One of the greatest performances in film history. Ronald Colman was never better.

[@genevievel5309]

The greatest version - Ronald Colman as Sidney Carton has never been bettered.

[@jamesmarshall8836]

Ronnie Colman's greatest performance yet he wasn't even nominated for a richly-deserved Oscar.

Oscars are man made, and meaningless.

I definitely agree, Clark Gable won for Gone with the Wind 🤮

[@brerrabbit9585]

The end always brings tears to my eyes no matter how many times I`ve seen it.

[@WillScarlet16]

My grandmother had a crush on Ronald Coleman; I used to watch this movie with her, and her admiration for him was still evident in her 80s. After she passed we went through her albums and found a signed photo of him in one of them, I never knew how she got it. She probably wrote a fan letter to him and just got a premade response, but I still wish I'd been able to ask her about it.

Loved this movie.. and Ronald Colman. He was a fantastic actor..

[@beechnut8779]

A terrific performance by Isabel Jewell as the little seamstress!!

[@jdewitt77]

What a sad scene. It shows the horrors of the Reign of Terror.

[@davidwilliams3907]

His name is Ronald Coleman. Give him that respect.

[@jdewitt77]

Great performance by Ronald Colman.

One of the greatest movies ever made. Who are the 12 idiots who gave a thumbs to this sublime scene?

[@miltonmoore8369]

"AntiChrists" who despised the reference to God at the end and the beautiful Christian hymn played along with the scripture verse, "O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL."

[@aresee8208]

AI think the last 5 minutes of this movie is a master class in movie making. A lot of the credit goes to director Jack Conway.

[@AaronGranda-g5r]

Not bad for an 85 yr old movie. Very touching.

[@AsadAli-jc5tg]

Amazing how Ronnie Coleman changed his physique in all those years.

[@TheBuchanskii]

Just realized the last song is Come All Ye Faithful

[@vincentsartain3061]

There was a scene earlier in the movie in which Sydney Carton (Colman) attends church during Christmas time and finds some sense of redemption after having lived a dissolute existence for so many years; so the Christmas music at the end hearkens back to that previous scene where Carton feels closer to God than he had felt in a long time.

I've never read the book. I've never watched the film in full. I saw this in psychology class a decade ago. I understand all I ever need to know about the human condition from this scene.

[@williamvasilakis9619]

Clyde! I read the book and watched the film over and over. It is very deep and illustrates the duality of man in my opinion. The chivalry of a destitute, intelligent man who has shunned society as illustrated by its darker side, its barbarity and inhumanity toward its fellow man. I loved Colemans performance, you can almost feel his heartbreak and pitiful lonliness, wanting longingly for unrequited love. So sad. I wonder if there are any Carton's out there today in our society?

[@austinlevreault6211]

@@williamvasilakis9619 There are. A good many I believe. Furthermore, I think we stand before such dichotomy of times as in the book's opening sentence.

@Robert Hicks: please change the title to "Ronald" Colman. An actor of his great stature should enjoy, at least, the mention of his full name. His diction, enunciation, and cadence remain unequaled in cinema today. Not to mention his excellent baritone voice. If any should disagree,

[@MichaelVenables]

I don't understand your response. I made a reasonable request, to change the title of the video. If you don't do this, it further demonstrates you have no respect for this great actor, and have no understanding of what a great thespian he was. How unfortunate.

[@vincentsartain3061]

@@MichaelVenables I agree that it would be an improvement to correct the title, but perhaps in the meantime you might give some thought to edit "Coleman" to "Colman."

[@MichaelVenables]

vincent sartain My typo-thanks for catching it. Fixed!

[@peterd440]

It's impossible to create a film with an ending that approaches the beauty of the novel. The "It is a far, far better..." is a part of the beautifully written internal monologue of Carton. I know filmmakers include it because it has a nice symmetry with the novel's lyrical opening prose but a film is not a novel and translating certain aspects of the source doesn't work.

His coat, or at least the collar, would have been removed before his execution as it would interfere with the cutting action of the blade

[@vincentsartain3061]

@Wishful Thinking Except "French tyranny" DIDN'T fail. Seems you've forgotten that after overthrowing the monarchy, nobility, and aristocracy, France went from the Reign of Terror and a.string of leaders through the two Napoleons who, if anything, ruled more iron handedly than Louis XVI's reign. Napoleon went on to conquer nearly all Europe. The French Revolution quite simply DIDN'T deliver the same kind of "liberty" for which the Americans fought and won.

[@vincentsartain3061]

@Wishful Thinking Thank YOU for your noble acknowledgement.

[@vincentsartain3061]

Your preference is your preference; MY pick is the great Mr. Ronald Colman.
