Great Expectations (Lean, 1946) (Blu-ray)

Film Description

Probably Lean's best film with Oscars for art direction and photography. A masterly adaptation from Dickens which fluently blends excitement, suspense and emotion right from the atmospheric opening when young Pip meets Magwitch in the graveyard. Lean handles the transitions from fear to drama and on to comedy with extraordinary ease.
