Customer Reviews of Great Expectations (1946)
Mills, Hobson in a British movie masterpiece Still-definitive screen version of Charles Dickens' novel, with Sir John Mills as Pip, Valerie Hobson as Estella and Martita Hunt as Miss Havisham. The tale recounts one Pip, whose boyhood is marked by the mysterious Havisham and her entrancing young ward. When Pip reaches adulthood, he learns he has been sponsored by a unnamed benefactor. <

>The entire David Lean-directed film is marvelous. John Mills is a fabulous Pip, with Valerie Hobson perfect casting for Estella. Revered British character actress Martita Hunt (ANASTASIA) is amazing as Havisham. Anthony Wager and Jean Simmons play the younger Pip and Estella at the beginning of the film. The film is peppered with virtually every single noted British actor of the period including Alec Guinness, Bernard Miles, Freda Jackson and Francis L. Sullivan. The lush score was provided by Walter Goehr. This was the first of David Lean's Dickensian feature films.
