  Love when the house is revealed as a dead house, as he pulls down the curtains, dust flying up.

  Still following the typical palatial atmosphere, the Dir plays the rising of a man from his hashes, how he learns to fly and when he leaves the nest. The admirable way of filming in this softer penumbras, compared to the sharper contrasts noticeable in BE, OT or H'sC, keeps DL's drive to focus on macro monumental characters within a B/W film. The predictable happy ending crushed my expectations.

  A great adaptation with a great supporting cast and direction by Lean. Only misstep is the casting of John Mills, but to see Guinness in his first big role is a delight.

  Beautifully photographed and designed, but about as stimulating as a cobweb.

  Roscoe

  Magnificent black and white cinematography and some fine character actors chowing down on great roles make up for a strange lack of tension as the film goes on -- and Valerie Hobson is never once able to conjure Estella's icy beauty.
