Pointer examines the problems inherent in dramatizing Dickens novels for the screen, and traces the development of the adaptations from tiny extracts in the earliest silent movies to the full-scale television serials of the present day, covering virtually a century of international productions.

His narrative is full of interesting historical detail and astute critical commentary...a fine reference book and, for those interested in film history, an interesting read.
