Product Information
In a double bill of David Lean's adaptations of Dickens' novels, Great Expectations centres on the story of orphaned Pip, from his unnerving encounter with escaped convict Magwitch on the bleak Essex marshes to his becoming a gentleman through a mysterious benefactor. With Martita Hunt as the tragic Miss Havisham, Alec Guinness - in his first major screen role - as Herbert Pocket and Jean Simmons, then Valerie Hobson, as the heart-breaking Estella.Product Identifiers
