| The best of many screen versions of Dickens's classic. The story has been simplified, not too damagingly, and there are strong performances from Colman and Blanche Yurka (as Madame De Farge). It's on a very grand scale (17,000 extras were reputedly used in one scene) although some of the sets are rather too obviously artificial. Conrad A. Nervig's editing was Oscar-nominated. Val Lewton and Jacques Tourneur were involved in directing the crowd and second-unit scenes. |
