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 ploturization of your favourite author's world famous novel.

Better than "A Tale 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 the elements of a corking good metodrama. The atmosphere in the picture is wonderfully true, and the quaint scenes and characters of over half a century ago make splendid entertainment.
