Jean Simmons in "Great Expectations" (TV, 1989)

[demi598]

This is a really good book..but it's hard to define because of the dialogue..since it was written in the 1800s

I loved the book. And when Miss Havisham burns on fire.....I cracked up and was sad too. But it was sooooo funny! <33333333

is there anyway i can collect all the full episode of this tv series?..

[Claudiakatharine]

Its kinda creepy because estella is so much older than pip.

[CapcherIt]

Estella is supposed to be the same age as Pip, Miss havisham's is not NEARLY secluded or overgrown with nature enough. Miss Havisham's lair on the other hand is exactly as i see it in the novel!

Kim Thomson is a fine actress. She was superb as Kitty Winter in 'The Illustrious Client'.

Thanks for uploading.

back when people rented vhs tapes, my family and I would get movies once a week and this was one I frequently selected. great performance (if I remember correctly). I wish I could find it!

Her voice sounds nasally. Jean Simmons was the best young estella

[90lysander]

@citizenlen Not nasal, necessarily, but pretty odd -- and certainly not natural-sounding!

[instafreebird]

Ah! pip's preparation for exposure! A classic serial!

[princessUSA2]

if i knew estella in real life, i'd hate her. but in this movie and this book, shes my favorite character. she has that scarlett ohara attitude and something about her makes her very intriging even though she is so rude and cold.

I think Martita Hunt (original Miss Havisham) would have been very proud of Ms. Simmons. She holds up nicely. I also agree wit brabon1 and mkleinstudio . . . Kim Thomson's Estella doesn't have the spark JS's portrayal had. There's nothing extraordinary about her that makes a viewer believe Pip could be bowled over so violently. Thanks for posting, JSF!

please upload intro of this Great Expectations 1989 Tv series,

[brabon1]

one more thing....ms simmons makes a terrible ms havisham....she is just too pretty

[brabon1]

ms simmons portrayal of estella is a million times better than this

not only was she strikingly beautiful at 17...but she played cold, much, much better

[mkleinstudio]

Hehe this girl's voice is a pain
