David Lean directed this splendid and sdatisfying version of the classic Dickens novel. I found the adult PIP to be played by an actor who is way too old for the part. Other than that the parts are well cast. Jean Simmons, 17 at the time, is very beautiful. Criterion has done a good job on this DVD.
