5.0 out of 5 stars spellbinding ,,,superb,,endless superlatives, 5 Dec 2005
By Paul Peabody "peapod" (ny ny) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I saw this adaption in 1977 ,,,I was overwhelmed,.The cast is beyond perfection.I am astonished that so many of the actors did not find their way into other similar productions over the years,,,which makes this mysterious.I have been trying to find this tape ever since.It is poignant to the point of heartbreak,,but always exceptionally true to the spirit ,,so familiar to Dickens lovers,,,of life on the fringes of society ,,,.Endless villains,,,and priceless heroines,,,hypocrisy etc. I am quite humbled to think that these people did such a splendid job and excepting Timothy West, whose career is much heralded,,,I feel the extraordinary vision,in the lesser knowns actors' portrayel is an incredible secret for those fortunate enough to experience this tale and adds a kind of intimate mystery ,rare,,in the world or recorded arts
