David Copperfield (1970) David Copperfield

David Copperfield ★★½ 1970 This British made-for-TV production is more faithful to the Dickens classic than any of its predecessors. The added material, however, fails to highlight any one character as had the successful 1935 MGM version. Still, the exceptional (and largely stage-trained) cast do much to redeem the production. 118m/C VHS. Richard Attenborough, Cyril Cusack, Edith Evans, Pamela Franklin, Susan Hampshire, Wendy Hiller, Ron Moody, Laurence Olivier, Robin Phillips; Director: Delbert Mann; Cameo: Malcolm Arnold. TV
