DISCOVERING THE CLASSICS
Sir-With Great Expectations we have more complaints from the intellectuals, similar to those complaints concerning the film Henry V. These films, however,,have certainly awakened my interest, and presumably of many more people like me. I have read Henry V. twice, once before, and once after seeing the film. I am now reading Great Expectations, and intend reading more of Dickeris, a thing I have not done since having Oliver Twist thrust on me at school. With the coming of Caesat and Cleopatra I am trying to obtain a copy of that. play and more of Shaw’s works. . To many people this type of film provides not only excellent entertainment, but also the incentive to go to the source, and improve their’ knowledge of the great English classi¢s. Surely your correspondent W. J. Scott and others sharing. his views should; encourage these films if they are able to further adult education in this wave
