Description

Great Expectations (GFE, 1946). Very Fine- on Linen. British Quad (30" X 40.5").
David Lean's Great Expectations is a highly regarded adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel, praised for its cinematic artistry and atmospheric storytelling. Lean brings the Victorian world to life with striking visuals and meticulous attention to detail, capturing the dark, moody tone of the novel. The film features a standout cast, with John Mills as Pip, Jean Simmons as young Estella, and Valerie Hobson as the adult Estella, alongside Alec Guinness in his screen debut as Herbert Pocket. Lean's direction, combined with Guy Green's evocative cinematography, makes this film one of the most celebrated British literary adaptations of its time. This poster, a second-time offering from Heritage, has touchup along the folds, airbrushed borders, pinholes, and small edge tears. Property from a Distinguished Collection.
