A Vintage Hardcover Book (measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4" [14 x 20 cm]; 351 pages) (Learn More) Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities, the classic 1935 Jack Conway & Robert Z. Leonard French Revolution London England/Paris France historical class struggle romantic love triangle melodrama ("Humanities greatest love story!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the classic novel by Charles Dickens) starring Ronald Colman (as Sydney Carton), Elizabeth Allan (as Lucie Manette), Edna May Oliver (as Miss Pross), Reginald Owen, Basil Rathbone, Blanche Yurka (as Madame De Farge), Henry B. Walthall, Donald Woods (as Charles Darnay), Lucille La Verne, Walter Catlett, and Isabel Jewell. Note that in earlier stage and screen versions of this classic movie, the parts of Sydney Carton and Charles Darnay were played by the same actor (to better explain how one could pass for the other), but in this version, those parts were played by two different actors, and this version is rightly considered a classic!

Burt photoplay edition from 1935 (one of a collection of such books we are auctioning in this set of auctions). Here are some more details about these books: A.L. Burt (like Grosset & Dunlap) was a publisher that made a deal with all the studios in the 1910s to publish "movie edition" hardcovers of novels that were currently adapted into movies. They would re-publish the original novel as the movie came out (or soon after), and they would put a dust jacket on the book that showed the stars of the movie, and they would include several pages of images from the movie scattered in the book. These books were incredibly popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The example of this book offered here does not have its dust jacket. Note that we have pictured the front cover, the title page, and the interior page that shows the publishing information, and one or more interior 2-page spreads. Condition: fair to good. There is water staining on the spine and some around the edges of the front cover. See our multiple images to get a good sense of the condition of this book. Learn More about condition grades
