Movie Review: The Old Curiosity Shop is a wonderful Production!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This must be the DVD Bargain of the year. I brought this DVD as I enjoy watching Dickens.
I have not read the book or seen this movie before buying it. I brought it Purely for the price. What a surprise I was in for.
The story is about a girl named Nell and she lives with her Grandfather in a shop called "The Old Curiosity Shop". Nell's grandfather loves her very much, however he has a problem with gambling. He borrows money from his evil landlord (played by Tom Courtenay).
When the Landlord finds out what Grandfather has been doing with the money he takes all that belongs to the old Gentleman and makes plans to put him in the madhouse.
Nell desperately wants to protect her Grandfather so they set out to leave London for the Sea Side.
Will Nell and her Grandfather able to be free from the Landlord or will the evil Landlord find them and do what he set out to do.
Watch and find out. This DVD is a must for anyone who enjoys Dickens and/or family movies. A movie to be enjoyed by all ages.
With great actors, well made production of the greatest quality at a great price what more could you ask for.
You will not be disappointed.
Movie Review: Wonderful!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a very good depiction of the old days. While we're not familiar with Dicken's book "The Old Curiosity Shop", we are
thoroughly pleased with this version. The acting, the characters, the scenery, seemed so authentic with the time period. Nell,
for instance, just seemed to have that victorian appearance: with the small mouth, large eyes, very meek and quiet like. We do
not know how it was done to make the streets of victorian London and vicinity look so life like and real, but it was done very
nicely. There are a few scenes of fighting, but otherwise this production is good for the entire family. We thought it was
wonderful! It makes us want to read the book!
Movie Review: The Extremely Curious Curiosity Shop
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never read this book by C. Dickens. Some of his stories are a bit grim for me, but I thought why not see a film version. I liked it--no, I was so fascinated by the plight of this girl and her irresponsible grandfather, that I can truly say, "I loved it." I was actually walking along beside them as they tried to escape the baddies.Movie Review: One of my favorites, giving as a Christmas gift

What a treat to see Peter Ustinov. I first saw him in Quo Vadis in 1951 or 52. A very special Charles Dickens story, good for all ages.Movie Review: The Old Curiosity Shop A review by SteveeG :-)

What can I say. If you love Dickens, then this is a must. Tim Courtney in his portrail of Quilp is excellent!
