1946 · d. David Lean
Starring John Mills, Valerie Hobson, and Alec Guinness
Lifted from rags to riches by a mysterious benefactor, orphan Pip pines for the elegant Estella, his old playmate in the decaying manor of mad spinster Miss Havisham. Before Lawrence of Arabia and Dr. Zhivago, David Lean proved his cinematic mastery with this gorgeous, gothic adaptation of Dickens’ classic novel.
