Great Expectations

Based On the book by Charles Dickens

Great Expectations is a 1934 adaptation of the 1861 Charles Dickens novel of the same name. Filmed with mostly American actors, it was the first sound version of the novel and was produced in Hollywood by Universal Studios and directed by Stuart Walker. It stars Phillips Holmes as Pip, Jane Wyatt as Estella and Florence Reed as Miss Havisham. Critics consider this 1934 version far inferior to the classic 1946 version, made in England and directed by David Lean.
