George Cukor's Oscar-nominated version is one of the best and purest Hollywood adaptations of Dickens's classic with superlative performances from Freddie Bartholomew and W. C. Fields as Micawber.
Audience Reviews for David Copperfield
Not a bad flix, looks great. I never knew Dickens wrote a story where a orphan boy meets nothing but good people.
Super Reviewer
Though Freddie Bartholomew is a surprisingly compelling young actor, the movie as a whole is like the book: long, sprawling, feeling more like an aimless documentary of someone's life rather than any kind of cohesive story.
Not for all tastes, perhaps, but easily one of the best adaptations of a book to the screen I've ever seen. I had just finished the book when I learned that W. C. Fields had played Micawber in this version. It's the perfect role for him. I've always loved his work, and this is his best work.
