...Show of the Month (CBS, 9:30-11 p.m.). If it appeared in the daytime, The Winslow Boy might look like a soap opera, but Terence Rattigan's old school tie has a habit of glowing in the dark; with Fredric March, Florence Eldridge, Siobhan McKenna, Rex Thompson, Denholm Elliott...
...some 30 other sets, cutting from love duets to orgies of hate, CBS gave Charles Dickens' A Tale of Two Cities a revival that all but burst out of the TV screen. The play roiled with revolutionary turmoil, rang with Dickensian speeches by such able players as Denholm Elliott in the role of Charles Darnay, Rosemary Harris as his wife, Eric Portman as Dr. Manette and Agnes Moorehead, who played Madame Defarge as if the revolution depended on it. But Tale was the finest hour-and-a-half for Director Robert Mulligan, 33, especially in his mob scenes...
...quite a while has there been a Broadway thriller with so much plot-which is fortunate, since there has not been one either with such strenuous overacting. Under Shepard Traube's direction, a largely English cast headed by Denholm Elliott (Ring Round the Moon) and Patricia Jessel (Witness for the Prosecution) exhibit all the subtlety of a burglar alarm.

By Denholm Elliott, 35, British actor of screen (The Heart of the Matter, The Cruel Sea) and stage (Broadway's Ring Round the Moon): Virginia McKenna. 26, blonde British cinemactress (The Cruel Sea, The Barretts of Wimpole Street); after three years of marriage, no children; in an uncontested action, on grounds of adultery with strapping Cinemactor Bill (Wee Geordie) Travers; in London...
...happy coincidence with its title, the picture is solid throughout, and even the smaller roles show depth and good characterization. Denholm Elliott, as Wilson the clerk, Peter Finch, as Father Rank, and Gerard Oury as Yusef all contribute positively in small ways. Yusef's dialogues with Scobie provide some of the scarce light spots of the evening, but because of their disturbing implications never contradict the overall tone of the film...
