This is possibly the keenest adaptation of a Dickens classic. Young David Copperfield(Freddie Bartholomew)survives a difficult childhood and we share his trials and tribulations on the way to manhood. Actually a coming-of-age tale that tugs at the heartstrings. Excellently photographed and an all-star cast that brings forth unforgettable characterizations. You don't have to be a Dickens fan to enjoy this version of David COPPERFIELD. Frank Lawton plays Copperfield as a man. Just a few of the other stars making up this outstanding cast:Basil Rathbone, Lionel Barrymore, W.C. Fields, Lewis Stone, Jessie Ralph, Maureen O'Sullivan and Edna May Oliver. This fine 1935 film still can hold your interest.
