Great Expectations (1946, UK)

In David Lean's dramatic adaptation of Charles Dickens' novel:

  • the truly scary scene in the almost-silent, sweeping opening set in a shadowy graveyard in which young Pip (Anthony Wager) was suddenly confronted, with a brilliant whip-pan camera movement, by convict Abel Magwitch (Finlay Currie)
