Hate to see children so misused. It was typical in that day and age that parents sent them out of the city to be raised by people who starved them and brought them up with little love. A lot died and their parents didn't question it. People had children because there was no birth control and many couldn't afford food to raise them. So they'd send them to a place out in the country that sounded good but they didn't question it and these child farms treated them like animals. No gov controls.
I liked D'Arcy a lot in this film, and Smike was also quite good, I think it's weaknesses were a rather lackluster Madeline (She didn't really seem very put out about marrying creepy dude, I kind of wanted to see some humanity or it seems a little unrealistic...) and I honestly don't remember a lot of the other characters. People often run down the 2002 version, but I think it had stellar casting. Nicholas was probably the weakest, but he worked and Jamie Bell was the best Smike I've ever seen.
I recently read that the film about Edward VIII, who abdicated the throne of England due to marring an American divorce, which is being directed by Madonna, has decided not to actually base the film on Edward, but a fictional character like him.
@amunrey You could be right ! James d'Arcy is six foot something, and King Edward was around 5' 8" - not an exact match. It will be an interesting film, I am sure !
@kiefer1house2 I understand your thinking there. It was by far the better NN, but another was out at almost the same time, and possibly people got them confused or felt they didn't want to see another NN so soon. Even IMDB had the DVD covers backwards for a while on their site. I haven't checked it lately.
@kiefer1house2 Whyat really annoys me about this one is that all the credit goes to James D'arcy, don t get me worn he was amazing in this adaption but i think actually the best acting came from lee ingleby (smike) i think he played his role so amazingly well he was very under rated in reviews xx
SHite....My comment is for us gals in the us...U can always rent this from netfliks....I cant find this anywhere....:( this actor is so under rated...Best Version of Nicholas Nikelby <3...
He WAS the best Nicholas Nickelby...Its so sad that he didnt get critital acclaim for this...and some other idiot did...Forget his name (he was blonde) but still the was the best one. He is so under-rated, Its so not fn fair...and poor smike :( U guys can always rent it on netficks :)
I don't remember... I saw a lots of movies from BBC... because are so well done, are so sensible, and so realy in life.. and lovely them all.. I dont remember Bleak House.. and I did seeit.. but i'll take a watch again..
That movie looks fantastic.. I want to wee it.. but how is it exactely could? Nicolas Nickleby? That man looks horrible!! Poor boy!! alwais disasters as in real life...

Watch James d'Arcy's next film, "W.E.", when it comes out in 2011. He plays Edward VIII. Should be good.

Thank you for making these 6 trailers.
In my opinion ot is the best version of "Nicholas Nickleby", my favorite version. I like also very much 1977 version, with Nigel Havers.
And I don't like 2002 version at all!
Thank you again. Choice of moments and MUSIC - perfectly done, as always!

James D'Arcy was a beautiful man in that movie. Dicken's period clothing really suits his tall frame. It also really brings out his eyes.

I've seen him in a couple other things, and he's beautiful anyway. LOL!! You are right though, this film really suited him all the way around.

Smike turned out to be pretty handsome too. The poor thing. I wanted to cuddle him for most of the movie.
