Great Expectations (1946, b/w)

FILM4, 2.30PM

David Lean’s peerless version of Dickens’s novel is packed with memorable moments, from its opening scenes on the desolate marshes, where Pip first meets the escaped convict Magwitch, to the enduring images of Miss Havisham’s house… not forgetting Pip’s boxing match with Herbert Pocket – surely the most endearing fight scene in film history.
