Great Expectations1946
From the Vivid Pages of Charles Dickens' Masterpiece!
In this Dickens adaptation, orphan Pip discovers through lawyer Mr. Jaggers that a mysterious benefactor wishes to ensure that he becomes a gentleman. Reunited with his childhood patron, Miss Havisham, and his first love, the beautiful but emotionally cold Estella, he discovers that the elderly spinster has gone mad from having been left at the altar as a young woman, and has made her charge into a warped, unfeeling heartbreaker.

Somehow, the fullness of Dickens, of his stories and characters—his humor and pathos and vitality and all his brilliant command of atmosphere—has never been so illustrated as it is in this wonderful film, which can safely be recommended as screen story-telling at its best.
狄更斯会写故事，大卫里恩会拍故事。情节紧凑情感深厚，Pip向罪犯施发善心，在死气沉沉的破败旧屋和仇男情绪中依然保有一颗赤诚之心。所幸铁匠姐夫的质朴，让他没有再朝虚荣冷漠多走一步；所幸他的坚定，把仿佛宿命轮回一般要重走老小姐轨迹的Estella拉回人间；所幸这世上还有用善举回馈善举的人，让曾经罪恶的灵魂归于宁静。小简·西蒙斯更像费雯丽了，年轻的吉尼斯爵士也是超帅！
One of the best literary adaptations ever made.
