(George Cukor, US 1935, 130 min.)

Dickens. Stemming from intricate and masterful source material, the tumultuous life of David Copperfield — from early childhood to young adulthood — reaches the big screen. George Cukor’s adaptation of Dickens’s extravagant and timeless novel has David played by Freddie Bartholemew and Frank Lawton. The unbelievably talented cast includes W.C. Fields, Basil Rathbone, Lionel Barrymore, Madge Evans, Maureen O’Sullivan, and of course the wonderful Edna May Oliver as the rambunctious Betsy Trotwood.
