Format:VHS Tape
A thoroughly enjoyable production of Great Expectations full of stars such as Michael York, Sarah Miles, James Mason, Margaret Leighton. Sarah Miles is great fun as Estella and Margaret Leighton suits the part of Miss Havisham superbly. Perhaps not the most accurate adaptation of the novel, but one nevertheless which is heartwarming and very enjoyable - thoroughly recommended.

It's been about 30 years since I last watched this film and it was every bit as good as it was to me when I watched it the first time. I prefer this version to the John Mills one but then that is probably owing to my age! A lovely period piece that was a pleasure to watch.
Format:DVD
(THE FILM):
This lavish adaptation of Charles Dickens immortal tale follows Pip, an orphan given the chance to break free from poverty and live life as a gentleman.The stunning performances by an all-star cast are unforgettable.
James Mason is Magwitch, the escaped convict Pip helps in an act which is to affect his whole life; Robert Morley plays his kindly uncle; Anthony Quayle is Jaggers, the lawyer who intercedes for Pip's anonymous benefactor; and the rich but deeply troubled Miss Havisham is deftly portrayed by Maragaret Leighton. Estella, the lifelong object of Pip's love, is Sarah Miles and adult Pip is played by Michael York.
Good adaptation of the Dickens classic,for TV movie made in UK in early 70s it is more than Respectable..

Avoid at all costs..tedium personified..
A very uninspiring adaptation of a classic book, pales in comparison to the 1946 version, in spite of the latter version's faults. Read more
