Film Description

Cavalcanti's Ealing production of Charles Dickens' novel, considered alongside Great Expectations as the best of the feature adaptations of Dickens' works, stars Derek Bond as the eponymous hero. The duplicitous scheming of Nicholas's avaricious Uncle Ralph (Cedric Hardwicke) robs him of his rightful inheritance. In order to care for his family, the resourceful Nicholas is forced to leave his schoolmaster's post and seek his fortune as a travelling entertainer.

Sally Ann Howes, Stanley Holloway, Bernard Miles and Sybil Thorndike co-star.
