During the final scenes of the tumbrels rolling to the guillotine, the people in the tumbrel appear to switch sides. First, they are on the right, then on the left, then on the right again.

The 23rd Head

Dirk Bogarde was sufficiently established for Rank to allow him to star as Sidney Carton in this adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic novel

With someone of Bogarde's track record in the lead Betty Box could afford to gamble by casting the distinguished stage actress Dorothy Tutin - then young enough to be described as "a pretty little doll" - as his leading lady.

It's pretty perfunctory, and Bogarde's certainly no Ronald Colman, but he's louche enough at the outset, Rosalie Crutchley is a perfect Madame Defarge and Christopher Lee is a fine substitute for Basil Rathbone in the earlier version as the Marquis St. Evremonde; while it's fun to see 18th Century France peopled by such obviously British actors as Cecil Parker, Athene Seyler, Ian Bannen Leo McKern, Alfie Bass and Donald Pleasance.
