CHARLES DICKENS'
FAMOUS NOVEL BECOMES "THE PERFECT MOVIE"
"OUR MUTUAL FRIEND"
All the tender pathos and exquisite feeling of Charles Dickens' Immortal Masterpiece has been brought to the screen in this, picturization of your favourite Author's world famous novel,
Better than "A TALS OF TWO CITIES" this Dickens' story has the most absorbing plot of any of the English. Writer's works. It is a mystery story and has all elements of a corking good melodrama. The atmosphere in the picture is wonderfully true, and the quaint scenes and characters of over half ä century ago make splendid entertainment."
