Movie Info
Little Dorrit was intended as the cinematic equivalent to the mammoth, eight-hour Royal Shakespeare Company's staging of Charles Dickens' Nicholas Nickelby. The film was released to theaters in two parts, each running approximately three hours. The first part, subtitled "Nobody's Fault," introduced us to the seamstress title character (Sarah Pickering), who chooses to live in debtor's prison with her father (Alec Guinness). Good Samaritan Arthur Clennam (Derek Jacobi) endeavors to help both

Audience Reviews for Little Dorrit (Nobody's Fault) (Little Dorrit's Story)
Not terribly captivating despite the stellar lineup. I think I have little patience for Dickens translations. I blame reading Bleak House and feeling ill afterwards.

Dickensian England is being described as a manipulative conversion of buffoons and upper class crooks and that adaptation is no exception to Charles' spirit.Edzard keeps a low profile and with the ever-mighty Guinness,the precise decoration of 19th century England,notwithstanding the fading background of alleys,moist corners..the book's rich complexity doesn't wither.
