Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Little Dorrit - Part One: Nobody's Fault
I like anything that Sir Derek Jacobi is in, and I think it is a very good movie. The period costumes are great, and the storyline is easily followable.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Little Dorrit
I am fortunate enough to have this on laser disc and while it may not be up to new DVD standards, the quality is still far better than VHS. I would definitely buy a restored DVD issue when it becomes available. I loved this version. I just watched the newer BBC version on PBS. Overall it was very well done but I thought it did a poor job explaining the "mystery" at the conclusion. We had friends that could not figure out who was related to whom at the end, and I have heard that PBS received tons ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Don't play with Dicken's
While I applaud the creativity of this production, as well as some of the acting, I feel it did not do justice to the novel. So many of the characters that Dicken's created were missing from this adaptation. Please be true to the novel.

Don't try to improve on his mastery. The new BBC adaptation of this novel is currently ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Magnificent!
When this film (or should I say films) came out in 1988, the New York City art house theatre that was showing it did something unusual. You could buy tickets for either movie (and see them on separate days) or you could buy tickets for both (at a discounted price) and watch the whole story in one day. I opted for the one-day marathon. Part 1 ran from 10:00am - 1:00. You then had an hour and a half to go out and grab a bite of lunch. Part 2 started at 2:30 - 5:30pm. As other reviewers have stated, this ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Through Dorrit's Eyes
I purchased this adaption of Little Dorrit several years ago on laserdisc and I enjoyed it, but I found that to fully appreciate this film it was necessary to watch it to the end. The point to this film adaption of a Dicken's book was to tell the same story twice but through differing viewpoints. Certainly the story is not as interesting or as gripping as Dickens more widely read novels and the film could have been improved by cutting and picking up the pace, but I believe the director accomplished his goal. ...
