This clip picks up exactly where Dickens had presented an alternate ending. In the original draft, Pip moves overseas, becomes a successful businessman, and lives with his friend Herbert Pocket and his family and never marries. Years later, on a trip to London, he sees Estella in a crowd, looking sad and older, but doesn't approach her. Great Expectations was published in installments as a magazine serial, and the publication's editor told Dickens the ending would disappoint his readers. Dickens rewrite is captured in this clip, and in the novel's last line Pip says he sees no future where they will ever be separated. So Dickens does leave the possibility open that they may not end up together, I think in recognition of his original ending..

When films were films. Beautiful mise en scène.

Thank goodness he got back there in time. She was on her way to becoming another Miss Havisham. It is one of the most brilliantly conceived emotional film endings of all time.

This ending was so much better than the ending in the book.

A superb film and I preferred this ending to that of the novel. One complaint is that John Miles and Valerie Hobson are too old for their parts. I think Jean Simmons would have been wonderful as the older Estella.
