Great expectations 1934 - torrent download

Nine year-old orphan 'Pip' Pirrip lives with his harridan older sister and her hen-pecked but good-natured blacksmith husband Joe Gargery in rural, Regency-Period Britain.

While visiting his mother's grave near the moors, Pip is set upon by Abel Magwitch, an escaped convict from a prison ship whose intimidating appearance causes Pip to steal food and drink from the Gargeries on his behalf. Although Magwitch had initially threatened Pip, a bond quickly forms between the hardened criminal and the boy, so when the convict is recaptured, he admits to stealing the food, but does not implicate his young accomplice.

Shortly thereafter Pip receives an invitation from Mrs. Havisham, a wealthy recluse living in a crumbling mansion to play with her niece Estella.

He finds her haughty and cruel but becomes attracted to her beauty as his visits continue. Some time later the Gargeries receive a visit from the condescending lawyer Mr.

Javers, who offers Pip an education and allowance that will allow Pip to be free of the grinding poverty of rural England and give him access to the opportunity and sophistication that only London can offer, all at the expense of an anonymous benefactor.

As Pip grows to be a young man, he naturally contemplates his sponsor's identity and wonders if it may be the wealthy Miss Havisham.

This is perhaps the worst film version of a Dickens novel ever made by a major studio. All of the dramatic power of the story is drowned in syrupy music and mostly mediocre to awful acting.

Reviewer: faaus - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - March 26, Subject: A great version of the novel. Thanks for posting this excellent film. The atmospheric scenery and fine acting make the story come alive.

I struggled in middle school, as it was called then. I mean, it's not like I didn't like the subject of English. I thrive in it and was a late bloomer - had to wait to high school and books like, Lord of the Flies, Catch, etc. This movie is super. If I'd only know that Haley Mills' dad was in it back then. I mean I saw The Parent Trap version seven times. Reviewer: primsue - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - September 4, Subject: Still 5 stars even without the Star I love this movie and have seen it many times.

My only complaint is that the producers should have allowed Jean Simmons to carry the whole picture as leading lady. There was no need to bring in another girl who was not nearly as pretty, haughty, or insulting as the young Estella. A little lipstick and rouge, hair piled up high on her head, and the young Estella could have easily passed for a girl in her 20's. Let me also mention I downloaded and burned this movie twice and could not get the last 15 or so minutes of it on my disk.

I finally watched the end of the movie by streaming it on my computer. Reviewer: gunslinger69 - favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite - October 24, Subject: Great Expecations This is perhaps the finest rendition of a book to movie as I have ever had the pleasure of watching. At 39 years old, I have been recently catching up on the classic literature I had missed as a boy.

I once played a part in a dickens play, A christmas carol, and have ever been a fan of his work.
