	Val Lewton - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prior to beginning his film career in the early 1930s (as an MGM publicist and assistant to David O. Selznick), he studied journalism at Columbia University and authored eighteen works of nonfiction, fiction, and poetry.
		And as head of the B-horror unit he would have to follow three rules: Each film had to come in under a $150,000 budget; Each film was to run under 75 minutes; and Lewton's supervisors would supply the title for each film.
		Made for $134,000, the film went on to earn nearly $4 million, and was the top moneymaker for RKO that year.

	The French Revolution in the Popular Imagination: A Tale of Two Cities (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the eighteen-fifties, Charles Dickens was concerned that social problems in England, particularly those relating to the condition of the poor, might provoke a mass reaction on the scale of the French Revolution.
		It is a commonplace of Dickensian criticism that the writer was influenced by Carlyle's The French Revolution in A Tale of Two Cities.
		A Tale of Two Cities promoted the image of a stable England by using revolutionary France as a setting to highlight the contrasts between the two countries, although Dickens seemed to believe in the eighteen-fifties that England was heading towards an uprising on the scale of the French Revolution.

		While drawing parallels between the two countries, Dickens also alludes to his own time: "the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only" (1; bk.
		A Tale of Two Cities thus becomes a novel about the England and the English of Dickens's time.
		When viewed from this perspective, A Tale of Two Cities becomes a novel not about the French Revolution, but about the reaffirmation of England as a safe haven and English citizenship as something to be proud of.

		Up to that time, as Jewell later remembered, she had "played rip-roaring comedy stuff and Jack Conway (director of the film) would say to me, 'You're a marvelous little comedienne, but you can't play the part of a seamstress.' He refused to give me an audition." But Selznick prevailed and her audition was a success.

		He dominates completely the scenes he which he does appear, and his skill gives substance to a literary achievement, a melancholy man of intelligence and wit, given to drink and despair, whose life seems to attain meaning only when it is given up for someone else.

		In his 1935 film of John Buchan's THE 39 STEPS Hitchcock (with Charles Bennett, Alma Reville and Ian Hay) virtually threw away the book and used his imagination.
		What gives the film its powerful sense of menacing horror is its contrast between the normal and the bizarre; but, as in the book, even what is normal is open to question.
		Without attempting to represent that in exact visual terms, the film settles for a flurry of shots which put the audience into a suitably jumpy state for what it to come.

		His novel 'A Tale of Two Cities' has itself been filmed at least six times, made twice for television, and served as the basis of a tv mini-series.
		All of the scenes we look forward to are here: the nobles in the trumbles, the drunken Sydney brilliantly defending Darnay against a charge of treason, the death of the evil Evremonde, the fight between Pross and Madame deFarge, and the final moments of the life of the leading character.

		His Sydney Carton, who does a "far, far better thing" than he has ever done gives the film a depth and poignancy it would not otherwise have.
		In memorable supporting roles are Basil Rathbone as the coldly evil Marquis St. Evremonde (who complains that exorbitant taxes on the citizens are barely enough to pay his perfume bills), Edna May Oliver as the faithful family retainer, and Blanche Yurka as the frightening Madame De Farge, who knits as heads roll.
		Colman's role is pivotal in the film; his Sydney Carton is whom audiences care about and never forget.

		(Actually, it is one of two adaptations currently in the works.)
