And we get the next David Lean film - another adaptation of a Dickens classic. Alec Guinness does a wowzer transformation here as an old, withered up Fagin - (so much so they actually showed his performance from Great Expectations in the trailer to this film to contrast his transformation)
Speaking of that's about all there is in these two Criterion movies - the trailer and colorbars - no special features short of subtitles -
Good movies but I'm eager to get back to stuff I haven't heard of from outside English speaking stuff - and these 1940's films wouldn't be something I'd buy - but I got thru them
