Roman Polanski’s feature version of the Dickens story was definitely entertaining, although Polanski dropped some of the more far-fetched plotlines (and some characters) in order (I think) to make it grittier. FABULOUS average-person 1840s wear in all the street scenes — keep your eyes on the extras. Nancy and Bet wear nice lower class/prostitute wear, although I thought Nancy’s puffy-sleeved red taffeta dress a bit far-fetched.
