  • Great Expectations (1946)
    Review preview for Great Expectations

    One of the finest book to film adaptations of all time.

    Scott Macdonald · 4.5 out of 5
    Classic adaptation of Dickens' novel about a orphan who finds a mystery inheritance propels him into high society.
  • Heavens Above! (1963)
    Review preview for Heavens Above!

    This a film that is peppered with perfect moments, yet the embarrassment of riches in terms of its targets means it also feels quite scattergun at times.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    Trouble brews when an idealistic reverend is sent to a posh parish by mistake.
  • In Which We Serve (1942)
    Propagandist "story of a ship", the men who sailed on her and the women they left behind.
  • The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby (1947)
    Review preview for The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby

    If this rather workmanlike adaptation has any standout aspects, it is probably the performance of Cedric Hardwicke as Ralph.

    Owen Van Spall · 2.5 out of 5
    A teacher on his uppers absconds from a workhouse with a persecuted child.
  • The Smallest Show On Earth (1957)
    Review preview for The Smallest Show On Earth

    Very much an ensemble piece, it relies heavily on sight gags and cinema business.

    Amber Wilkinson · 3.5 out of 5
    Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers inherit a flea pit cinema with an eccentric staff.
