Based on a novel by Charles Dickens, first published in 1859.
A complex story. A man spends 18 years in the Bastille without a trial (by order of a cruel aristocrat). He is freed and taken to England. The nephew of that cruel aristocrat falls in love with the old man's daughter. The main character in all this, however, is an assistant to a distinguished lawyer who is also an alcoholic. He helps acquitting an important character and become friends with the the young lady (and falls in love with her).
Melodramatic to the core. Well made. Watchable.
