TCM David Copperfield

‎01-06-2021 09:14 AM

Evenings entertainment:  setting around the fire while one guy sings.  Talk about the simple life.

 

I have to laugh to compare it with things today.  Like 2 different worlds, and it really is.

 

Did you ever watch David Copperfield?  A lot of old stars from other shows  in this one.  

 

It's an old black and white.

Can't imagine living with only candles for light.

 

And what a cast. George Cukor directed the movie. I never read the book but wonder if it was tidbits of the book. 

 

Glad I did not have to eat the venison(?) that was being cooked(?). A whole different lifestyle.

W C Fields as Mr. Micawber........

 

This was one of my father's favotite books. He read it to me when I was 5.

 

The movie is great!

 

Another of my favorite Dickens' characters is Miss Haversham from Great Expectations. .

Of the numerous things I love about this movie - it is so true to the novel.  I watch it whenever it comes on.  

 

Love Aunt Betsey Trotwood!  Edna May Oliver is a wonderful actress.
