Little Dorrit (4)

PART FOUR of SIX Made in 1987 and starring Derek Jacobi and Alec Guinness, Charles Dickens' satire of Victorian government bureaucracy (the 'Department of Circumlocution') also concerns the inherent injustice of debtors' prisons, especially for those, like Little Dorrit, who happened to have been born in them. Little Dorrit was such a long film that it was itself satirised as 'Big Dorrit'. At almost six hours it was split into two. This is the first section of the second instalment. Please subscribe.
