For me the TV version of TGE is THE adaptation of the unmatched literary masterpiece;I have seen in it as an adolescent, and hugely cherished it. I have found it to be the most touching, moving, atmospheric and what not. Compared to it, the '40s famous version seemed insipid and stale and tritebut enough with that, as I sense many might in fact prefer the older movie.
It's very thrilling, wide, carefully detailed and affectionate; it casts the young Miss Kensit in a wonderful role, and she gives a fine performance as the mean, heartless, beautiful girl.
I have watched it 14 yrs. ago, and count it as one of the best things seen that year (on a par with a Colman version of the TALE OF TWO CITIES).
