Great Expectations: John Mills, Jean Simmons, Alec Guinness, Valerie Hobson (1946 Movie)
DVD: www.amazon.com thefilmarchive.org Great Expectations is a 1946 British film which won two Academy Awards and was nominated for three others (best picture, best director and best screenplay). It was directed by David Lean, based on the novel by Charles Dickens and stars John Mills, Valerie Hobson, Finlay Currie, Martita Hunt and Alec Guinness. Jean Simmons, who played the role of the young Estella in the film, later played Miss Havisham in a 1989 version directed by Kevin Connor. The script, a slimmed-down version of Dickens’ novel which had been inspired after seeing an abridged stage version of the novel, in which Guinness (responsible for the adaptation) played Herbert Pocket and Martita Hunt was Miss Havisham — casting that was carried over into the film – was written by Anthony Havelock-Allan, David Lean, Cecil McGivern, Ronald Neame and Kay Walsh. The film was produced by Ronald Neame and photographed by Guy Green.[1] It was the first of two films Lean directed based on Dickens’ novels, the other being his 1948 adaptation of Oliver Twist.

A really great story. I hated Pip for treating Joe so shabby, Pip really became a snob himself.
Wtf
うんこ＾＾
i have a test on the book tomorrow lol
fabulous!!!!
I loved every minute of this film
thankyou. R.W.
I have never been able to see this in its glorious entirety until now. I have loved Sir John Mills and Sir Alec Guiness. Their work is astounding; it’s a shame Lean’s 1948 version of OLIVER TWIST never received the same recognition that this had. I recently aquired the 1980s Disney miniseries with Jean Simmons as Miss Havisham and it is awesome.
always liked this novel and the film but I could never understand why Joe Garger put up with a violent psychopath like his wife. Dickens should have let Joe beat the snot out of her.
does this have the scene with the Newgate prisons and Wemmick? if so what time is that ? thanks!
aah thank you for uploading, this is so useful for my work!
THE HAT for fucks sake lol
