A Tale of Two Cities (1911) is a silent film directed by William J. Humphrey, loosely based on the 1859 novel by Charles Dickens.

According to film historian Anthony Slide, this was a three-reel film, totalling 30 minutes, released in weekly one-reel segments. Talmadge played the small role of Mimi the Seamstress, who accompanies Sidney Carton to the guillotine, although in this version he ascends the scaffold before her, and her death is not actually depicted.[1][2] The movie was the film debut of Lydia Yeamans Titus.[citation needed]
