I was taken to see it when it first came out. I was 5 or 6. The scene of the fire absolutely terrified me and stayed with me for years.

I had great expectations that this satsuma wouldn't have any pips in it

[bobbie22]

Is that the film with John mills? Or have I got the wrong actor? A Scottish actor for Magwich? Or have I got it all wrong?

Question - as a transported convict could Magwich have become rich enough in 10 or so years to become Pip's benefactor?

^^ spoiler alert

[Mamyalynne]

Magwitch has an interesting back story and very easy find via a search.
