David Lean made two of the greatest Dickens film adaptations there have ever
been - this 1946 evergreen classic and 1948’s Oliver Twist. See them both on the big screen this fortnight - they’re showing as part of a mini- David Lean season which also includes Blithe Spirit and a 70mm
screening of Lawrence of Arabia.
