Great Expectations -- A humble orphan suddenly becomes a gentleman with the help of an unknown benefactor.

Based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier, this sweeping epic relates the tale of three generations of two Irish families caught in a relentless feud that first erupts in 1840 when the Brodricks open a copper mine on land belonging to the Donovans. Outsider Fanny Rose Flower (Margaret Lockwood) marries into the Brodrick clan and watches over the years as greed, betrayal, economic upheaval and class violence threaten to tear apart both families.

The distinguished David Lean directed this adaptation of Dickens's novel about an uncultured boy thrust into high society by a mysterious benefactor. As a young boy, Pip (Anthony Wager) pines for the unattainable Estella (Jean Simmons), at the behest of Miss Havisham (Martita Hunt). Grown up Pip (John Mills) gets life lessons from roommate Herbert Pocket (Alec Guinness), but even Herbert can't prepare Pip for heartache.
