Product Information
This lavish BBC production of Dicken's classic tale stars Douglas Booth (WORRIED ABOUT THE BOY, CHRISTOPHER AND HIS KIND) as Pip, a young man who as an orphaned boy was occasionally sent to visit Miss Havisham (Gillian Anderson), an eccentric lady who lives in a huge but filthy mansion and is always dressed in a decrepit bridal trousseau. Miss Havisham has a ward, a lovely young woman named Estella, with whom Pip is immediately smitten. However, Pip is convinced a boy of poor circumstances could never win her heart, which fills him with a desire to better himself. One day Pip receives a message from a lawyer named Jaggers (David Suchet) -- an anonymous benefactor has made it possible for Pip to pursue a gentleman's education in London. Pip soon moves to the city, where he hopes to gain knowledge, wealth and the affections of Estella (Vanessa Kirby, THE HOUR).Product Identifiers
