Two Cities Ad = Sweeney

The ad on the right margin of this board for TALE OF TWO CITIES keeps catching my peripheral vision. With their arms raised, the man and woman remind me of Sweeney's triumphal stance. Except this time it is Madame LaFarge with her knitting - "At last my right arm is complete again!"

Really? Hadn't noticed. I've never heard of "Sweeney Todd." What is that? Is it good?

Funny: one of the other pix reminds me of Master of the House from Les Mis.

Two Cities is totally Les Miz lite. I mean look at it.

Yeah, for all intents and purposes, it really does look like the bastard spawn of 'Sweeney Todd' and 'Les Miserables', and that's not something I'm able to shake from my brain. XD

See, NOW you agree with me. ;-)

There are to many similarities to be a coincidence.

It's Thenardiers, btw

It always reminds me of "Madame Guillotine" from The Scarlet Pimpernel. I actually start singing it everytime I see the ad.

Keen on Kean, Thank you! I think that EVERY time I see it! It almost looks like the pose at the end of "A Little Priest."

I think of Sweeney every time I see it too! I thought it was just me!

People really need to try to more original instead of creating the Sweeney/Les Miz love child.
