Movie Synopsis: Immediately grabbing the audience's attention with a heart-stopping opening scene in a dark graveyard, acclaimed British director David Lean realizes the cinematic potential of Charles Dickens' classic 1861 novel, and the result is considered by many to be one of the finest literary adaptations ever made as well as one of the greatest British films of all time. Crystallized into a tight 118-minute running time by Lean, Ronald Neame, and a corps of uncredited contributors, this is the story of young Pip, a lad of humble means whose training as a gentleman is bankrolled by a mysterious benefactor. Along the way, Pip falls in love with the fickle Estella, befriends the cheerfully insouciant Herbert Pocket, has memorable encounters with the escaped convict Magwitch and the lunatic dowager Miss Havisham, and almost (but not quite) forgets his modest origins as the foster son of kindhearted blacksmith Joe Gargery. The role of Pip is evenly divided between Anthony Wager as a child and John Mills as an adult; Alec Guinness makes his starring film debut as the jaunty Pocket; Jean Simmons and Valerie Hobson are costarred as the younger and older Estella; and Martita Hunt is unforgettable as the mad Miss Havisham ("It's a fine cake! A wedding cake! MINE!") Remade several times, Great Expectations resurfaced in 1989 as a TV miniseries, with Jean Simmons, originally the young Estella, tearing a passion to tatters as Miss Havisham; and in 1998 it was remade again, in a contemporary version, with Ethan Hawke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Robert DeNiro, and Anne Bancroft in the Miss Havisham role. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi .If You Like this movie you can streaming Great Expectations movie without downloading HERE Watch Great Expectations Movie Online Streaming Without Downloading For Free.

Review For Great Expectations
Only rabid Dickensians will find fault with the present adaptation, and paradoxically only lovers of Dickens will derive maximum pleasure from the film.Variety Staff-Variety
The graveyard scene is still a shocker, the details are still astonishingly well assembled, and the performances are wonderful.
Don Druker-Chicago Reader
David Lean's black-and-white masterpiece may be a whirlwind tour of Dickens' novel, but what a well-performed, economic and atmospheric tour it is.
Dave Calhoun-Time Out
[A] glowing illumination of the warm and deliciously surprising tale.
Bosley Crowther-New York Times
[It] has been called the greatest of all the Dickens films, and [it] does what few movies based on great books can do: Creates pictures on the screen that do not clash with the images already existing in our minds.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Dickens' suspenseful tale a great classic for 10+.
Heather Boerner-Common Sense Media
When David Lean adapted one of the all-time great novels to the screen, he never forgot he was making a movie.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
Lean fills Great Expectations with a wealth of visual detail and vivid characters and personalities... and he directs with a warmth and humor...
Sean Axmaker-Turner Classic Movies Online
One of Lean's gems, this superb adapation of Dickens is still the vest version (for film or TV), boasting great acting from John Mills and Alec Guinness (who were regulars in helmer's work) and accomplished production values acknowledged with Oscars.
Emanuel Levy-EmanuelLevy.Com
If you want to see how Dickens anticipated the cinema, consider how little had to be done to bring the graveyard meeting between Pip and Magwitch to the screen.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
An unmissable rerelease.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
This is still the definitive version of Charles Dickens' amospheric and occasionally creepy classic.
David Parkinson-Empire Magazine
The definitive adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic is this one from David Lean.
Christopher Null-Filmcritic.com
A masterful adaptation of a masterful novel.
Gabe Leibowitz-eCinemaCenter.com
An expertly executed adaptation of the classic novel. Great indeed.
Jon Fortgang-Film4
Solid adaptation of the novel.
