Customer Reviews

The Old Curiosity Shop is a wonderful Production!!!!!
This must be the DVD Bargain of the year. I brought this DVD as I enjoy watching Dickens.
I have not read the book or seen this movie before buying it. I brought it Purely for the price. What a surprise I was in for.
The story is about a girl named Nell and she lives with her Grandfather in a shop called "The Old Curiosity Shop". Nell's grandfather loves her very much, however he has a problem with gambling. He borrows money from his evil landlord (played by Tom Courtenay).
When the Landlord finds out what Grandfather has been doing with the money he takes all that belongs to the old Gentleman and makes plans to put him in the madhouse.
Nell desperately wants to protect her Grandfather so they set out to leave London for the Sea Side.
Will Nell and her Grandfather able to be free from the Landlord or will the evil Landlord find them and do what he set out to do.
Watch and find out. This DVD is a must for anyone who enjoys Dickens and/or family moves. A movie to be enjoyed by all ages.
With great actors, well made production of the greatest quality at a great price what more could you ask for.
You will not be disappointed.

Great Expectations
This is a classic tale which captures your heart. Little Nell is desperately trying to protect her grandfather from debt and the greasy Mr. Quilp. Quickly the viewer realises that Mr. Quilp is infact very attracted to Nell although he is a married man. He bullies his wife who is a feeble creature frequently told that she will be replaced by a child. He is the only person who suplies Nell's grandfather with money and more money. The hole of debt the grandfather is digging himself is becoming very deep indeed and he needs to get away from it as he starts to get ill and behaving strangely.

Wonder Production
This is an absolutely wonderful production. From the script to the the cast to the sound to the scenery make up the perfect film.
