Great Expectations (1946 David Lean)

I don't know why we'd left it so long.

Some of the brilliant cinema is actually all in the source novel (I think - it's been even longer since I read it) - thus all the sounds Pip thinks he hears as he's heading for the grave are actually in the book: adapters of novels please note.

But not all, the moment where the two dinghies collide with the packet steamer is wonderfully dynamic.
