Nicholas Nickleby (1947)
(The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 108m
Director: Alberto Cavalcanti
Cast: Derek Bond, Cedric Hardwicke, Alfred Drayton, Sybil Thorndike
Synopsis:
Big-hearted Nicholas attempts to preserve his friends and family from callous treatment at the hands of his avaricious uncle.
Review:
Almost as good as the Lean Dickens adaptations, this nevertheless fails to attain the casting coups of those films, and the lead is rather colourless. Nevertheless, as an introduction to the book it has much to commend.
