3.0 out of 5 stars Would you believe...?, May 6, 2007

Boston Brahmin "BB" (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Great Expectations (1974) (DVD)

This production was originally filmed as a musical for theatrical release. The songs were edited out and this version of "Great Expectations" was released to television instead. Michael York does a credible job as Pip, and Sarah Miles is excellent as the snobby Estella.

This review is from: Great Expectations (1974) (DVD)

I am a high school English teacher and showed the DVD after reading the novel. It was great!!! Many lines were the same and the story plot was the same (pretty much). Awesome novel. Awesome DVD. Thanks
