Nicholas Nickleby

Nicholas Nickebly is a delightful screen rendition of Charles Dickens' classic novel. This dark tale is made lighter by the comedic appearance of Nathan Lane.

Opening quote from the movie:

What happens when the light first pierces the dark dampness in which we have waited? We are slapped and cut loose. If we are lucky, someone is there to catch us and persuade us that we are safe. But are we safe? What happens if, too early, we lose a parent? That party on whom we rely for only everything? Why, we are cut loose again and we wonder, even dread whose hands will catch us now.

Brian and I just recently discovered this movie and really enjoyed it. We also watched another classic last week, The Princess Bride.
