David Copperfield

  • 10 years ago
Drama (1969) 118 minutes ~ Color
An all-star ensemble brings to life this Charles Dickens's classic. Sir Lawrence Olivier (Mr. Creakle) Sir Ralph Richardson (Mr. McCawber) Sir Richard Attenborough (Mr. Tungay) Dame Edith Evans (Aunt Betsy) and Ron Moody (Uriah Heep) help make this performance one of the best of its kind. We follow along with David Copperfield (Robin Phillips) as he looks back at his life. He grows from orphan child to manhood in Victorian England with a combination of good advice and abusive acts against him. Acclaimed actors and a story as important today as it was 100 years ago make this production one of the finest renditions of this book ever brought to the screen.
