Does it get more epic than Miss Havisham, an early Norma Desmond if you will? With that said, you've made me aware that I need to dig into his other works. Thank you for that.

For some reason my favorite Novel, the Pickwick papers has never made a great movie/TV series. My favorite Dickens movie is still "Tale of Two Cities" with Ronald Coleman. Up there with it are "Oliver Twist (1948), Great Expectations (1946), and Martin Chuzzlewit (1994 BBC).rcoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102201338319611538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-12933178095641665282020-04-08T15:40:32.747-07:002020-04-08T15:40:32.747-07:00Jane introduced a lovely song in Royal Wedding.

There was OLIVER TWIST(33) with DICKIE MOORE in the title role. Dickie was married to JANE POWELL from 1988 until his passing in 2015 which was five days before his 90th birthday. Jane was his third wife and Dickie was her fifth husband. Jane turned 91 last week(Apr. 1). Ive mentioned Jane before. I know her from SEVEN BRIDES FOR SEVEN BROTHERS, THE GIRL MOST LIKELY and an ep of MURDER, SHE WROTE where she played a friend of Jessicas who was a nun. First GINGER ROGERS then JANE POWELL! Like Ginger, Jane also got to work with FRED ASTAIRE(in ROYAL WEDDING).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-59961368360944245672020-04-07T16:20:06.792-07:002020-04-07T16:20:06.792-07:00Funny how a look at Dickens brought us to Ginger R...Funny how a look at Dickens brought us to Ginger Rogers I assume in Heartbeat they wanted to emphasize the characters lack of maturity.

RONALD COLMAN in LUCKY PARTNERS(where Ginger had very dark hair) and BASIL RATHBORN in HEARTBEAT. I thought it was kind of odd that the character that Ginger played in Heartbeat(1946) was said to be 18. I didn't know her age then but I had already seen her in THE GAY DIVORCEE with FRED ASTAIRE so I knew that Ginger would have to be at least 30 in 1946. It turns out she was 35 that year being she was born in 1911. Like you, I don't care about the ages of the movie stars. I just thought-why even mention the age of her character?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-20161620483079977962020-04-07T06:39:07.167-07:002020-04-07T06:39:07.167-07:00Other Dickens adaptions I am fond of include David...Other Dickens adaptions I am fond of include David Copperfield, 1935, A Tale of Two Cities, 1935, Oliver Twist, Great Expectations, 1946, and Oliver Twist, 1948.<br /><br />I enjoyed the mini series treatments of Our Mutual Friend, 1976 and Bleak House, 2005.
