About this product

Product Information

Nell (Sophie Vavasseur) is an orphaned girl living with her grandfather (Derek Jacobi) in his bewitching world of antiques. But mounting debts cause their family shop to be seized by a dreaded loan shark, Quilp (Toby Jones), and put them on a run for their lives! And as the pair hit rock-bottom, they encounter the kind of unforgettable characters that could only come from the mind of Charles Dickens.

Entertaining condensation of Dickens's novel
While this version of The Old Curiosity Shop is well done, personally I prefer the much longer BBC version with Trevor Peacock. In this ninety minute video I thought all of the main characters are a little miscast. Nell is not sufficiently young and fragile, Toby Jones's Quilp is not as evil (or as dwarf-like) as Trevor Peacock and there was not enough time to fully develop the characters. In short, I thought it was good but could be better.

Way too short.
The product, per se was fine. The problem is with the story in the movie compared to the book. Kit, who is the main character in the book, has this miniscule part in the movie. By cutting him out, BBC managed to get the story into one episode and in a short period of time...............My advice, wait for the mini-series...........mh
