A straightforward adaptation which follows the events of Dickens' crowded narrative with commendable fidelity. The pure excitement of the book is missing, however; and the fault lies mostly with T. E. B. Clarke's reverent but somewhat lifeless script.

Monthly Film Bulletin
It sticks laudably close to the story and is well worth seeing but Hollywood's 1935 production with Ronald Colman had more emotional impact.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Charles Dickens' gripping tale is brought to life in these two earliest film adaptations of his famous classic novel. The tale of two men in love the same woman is set against the backdrop of the harsh subjugation of the French peasantry which transforms to the barbarism of French Revolution. Includes both the 1911 short and the 1917 feature.
