Movie Info
This lackluster 1970 version of Charles Dickens' classic novel, David Copperfield (made as a film twice before) turns Dickens' picaresque tale into an extended flashback, with David Copperfield (Robin Phillips) as a young man, brooding on a deserted beach, recalling his youth. The characters are all trotted out in choppy flashbacks as David remembers his life as a young orphan, brought to London and passed around from relatives, to guardians, to boarding school.

Critic Reviews for David Copperfield
All Critics (1) | Fresh (0) | Rotten (1)
The whole enterprise [has] a curious air of rather smug dejection-luxuriant moping, allied to considerable self-satisfaction.
