// "not very nice people",how so,jim? //
It's been 16 years since I studied the book at school, and I'm not going to pretend that high-school me is a Dickens expert. But that was the impression I got from both the film and the book at the time. Estella was, to be fair, brought up to be cruel and distant, but as I understood it she remained that way; while Pip had come into money while very young and then acted ashamed of his upbringing and former friends/family. By the end I think he'd started to mend his ways, but through that second half of the book he was not particularly nice imo.
None of which changes the assessment of the film, of course. I really ought to see it again. Don't think it's the "best film ever made", but thumping good all the same. I just remember watching the last scene and thinking it was a joke, and undercut what I'd assumed was the entire point of the story.

Classics fellas from Winchester and Westminster complained ( er some time ago) that the Classics lessons they got from their master were better than the Classics/Greats lectures at Oxbiidge

A succession of my English teachers wrote didactic books on theology ( Butler trethorwan Rhymer, Watkin, Yates, Phillips) and my god it shows on the religion and spirituality threads!

Yes, maybe they deserved each other. I think the film tailed of after Magwitch was hauled off back to the hulks!
(Bernard Miles only ever played Bernard Miles!)
