David Copperfield (1970)
Country: GB
Technical: Technicolor 118m TV
Director: Delbert Mann
Cast: Robin Phillips, Ron Moody, Wendy Hiller, James Donald, Ralph Richardson, Michael Redgrave
Synopsis:
A young man of determined and sincere character has a checkered childhood and schooling before finding fame and fortune as a writer. His experience of the social shortcomings of Victorian England will provide him with ample material.
Review:
A strange choice of director perhaps, but then Mann had returned to television after a brief foray into cinema in the fifties (the film was shown in cinemas shown in cinemas in the UK). Plenty of fun to be had from the casting, but this is a cinematically unengrossing adaptation.
