This third talking-picture version of Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations stars Michael York as Pip, the humble British lad whose aspirations to become a gentleman are financed by a mysterious benefactor.

This brief exposure to the finer things in life leads Pip on the winding road to betterment, with a few surprises in store for him.
