Movie | The Old Curiosity Shop | Charles Dickens

The Old Curiosity Shop (2007). Nell Trent lives with her grandfather, the proprietor of the Old Curiosity Shop. Grandfather has a disquieting secret, a gambling addiction fed by high-interest loans from the bully Daniel Quilp. The villainous Quilp wants to get possession of the shop, and Nell. In league with his lawyer Samson Brass and Samson's sister Sally, Quilp seizes Grandfather's assets. But Nell organizes an escape from the shop in the dead of night, and she and Grandfather begin a harrowing odyssey through the English countryside with their nemesis in hot pursuit. Convinced that there is a family fortune to be gained, Nell's brother Fred and his friend Dick Swiveller join in the chase. Meanwhile, Nell and Grandfather encounter a slew of eccentric characters, including Mrs. Jarley, who runs a lurid traveling waxworks where Nell and Grandfather earn a meager wage for a brief time. Nell and her grandfather are eventually forced to beg for survival. Will Nell's young friend Kit Nubbles and a mysterious stranger arrive in time to rescue the despairing duo?

Have just bought the book (619 pages) of the film from Devizes Books. Steve Pemberton aka Inside No.9 is featured on the still/video clip.

HI Dickens certainly knew how to give names to his characters to define them without wasting too many words describing them!!!! LOL! There's the unforgettable ' Uriah HEEP' in David Copperfield, and in THIS auspicious story, I nearly spat out a mouthful of tea when a dapper young chap was introduced as ' Dick Swiveller'!!!!!! The thing is, how on EARTH did he get away with that in Queen Victoria's England????? Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua

Amen Toosiya, Praise Yeshua and the Shalom, Shalom only He can give

A nice adaptation, compared to the 1995 it has a darker look, starker lighting, less colour, less humour, etc. One big negative though, the actress playing Nell just doesn't look like a child. There's a lack of energy to some of it too, like they haven't properly woken up or something.

[@melaniejunker47]

Thanks very much for the upload. Yet, this is the 2007 film and not the one from 1995 and was directed by Brian Percival.

[@dalehissem4865]

Thanks for letting me know. I have corrected it.

[@jamesvickers9476]

The 1995 was much better
