... a superior adaptation, a handsome film, and a prime example of Hollywood filmmaking of the thirties at its best.

It is the quality of the characterisation almost as much as the carefully elaborated period detail which recreates the spirit of coaching England as Dickens embalmed it in the novel. One can almost smell the aroma of harness and cold mutton.

No need to add to the heap of comments on this excellent picturization of the beloved Dickens novel...

Possibly the young people who are hustled off to David Copperfield by enthusiastic parents... will probably enjoy it a lot more than they expected to.
