Episode 157: Great Expectations
from Screen Test of Time Hosted by Suzan Eraslan
It's the unusual movie where the child actors at the beginning of the film have a better handle on their characters than the adult actors who play them for the rest of it, but this adaptation of Dickens's Great Expectations holds that distinction. Unfortunately, it makes the rest of the movie a tremendous letdown, and the film takes a confusing turn for the worse when its horribly miscast leads take over, and it muddles key elements of the novel's plot with unnecessary changes.
