• Sommario/riassunto: "Dickens has been immensely popular with filmmakers and Great Expectations has an unusual hold on the papular imagination. This book addresses in detail numerous adaptations with particular emphasis on the two television serials and four film versions including David Lean's celebrated 1946 classic and a modern re-working starring Gwyneth Paltrow."--Jacket.
