@17.24&17.29.We have a different nomenclature for the female pudenda up here in Scotland.My original avatar should have been"ywnafymmi",however i was lashed that night when i joined(perhaps not for the first time,naughty me).

Alec Guinness had his big break as the adult Herbert Pocket.

If it's the John Mills version - that's my afternoon sorted and sandwiches for dinner!

[naomi24]

Wonderful film. My heart breaks just thinking of Bernard Miles Joe Gargery.

[ynnafymmi]

Such an awesome film,jourdain.Martita Hunt as Miss Favisham is something else.Acting like no other.Would have been a superstar nowadays.Get your hanky ready for the ending,by the way.

[jourdain2]

I'll be buying a box of tissues especially for it.

[ynnafymmi]

When Joe Gargery says to Pip"what larks,pip,what larks",that gets me every time.Have to leave the room.(for a wee greet(cry)).

[naomi24]

The hurt is palpable. How cruel. Poor Joe.

[ynnafymmi]

One of the most poignant scenes(spoiler,here)is when Joe visits London.He loses his top hat,he makes a fool of himself.More tears from me again.

[ynnafymmi]

Every ABer still watching.What a magesterial film.Cinematic bliss.

[ynnafymmi]

Get your hankies ready.

[cashier]

Who's Miss Favisham? Not heard of her before.

[ynnafymmi]

Joe Gargery on now.What larks......

[ynnafymmi]

Hankies ready....

[jennyjoan]

Have taped

[ynnafymmi]

As i said,best film ever made.

[emmie]

i posted the same, brilliant film

[ynnafymmi]

@15.45.Martita Hunt.An Argentine born Brit.This is her best known film.However she was a regular in theatrical plays and shows.Nowadays she would have been seen as a superstar.I think she died alone about 1967.....

[cashier]

Wasn't she called Miss Havisham, as in the book?
