An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, the 1934 Stuart Walker coming-of-age in England melodrama (based on Charles Dickens' classic tale; "Charles Dickens' immortal classic"; "The movie treat of the season!") starring Henry Hull (as Magwitch), Phillips Holmes (as the adult Pip), Jane Wyatt (as Estella), Florence Reed (as Miss Havisham), Alan Hale Sr., and George P. Breakston (as the young Pip). Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
