A TALE OF TWO CITIES



''It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - ''

So, I decided to kick off my Sunday with a morning movie. TCM, my favorite cable station, was showing 'A Tale of Two Cities' one of my favorites. Of course it was NOT the version I was most familiar with, ( the 1932 version ) but the 1958 movie. Which was fine considering I had never seen it, but for my money the 32' version is the definitive one.

You probably know the story from High School, but check the link for a refresher on background. This is a very spiritual movie. JESUS is all over this one. Gotta love Charles Dickens! Anyway, thanks Wiki. Till next time...

''It is a far better thing that I do then I have ever done, a far far better resting place I go to then I have ever known..''
