TALES FROM DICKENS - 16MM ... AND A MYSTERY
We have 3 TV episodes of Tales from Dickens (presented by Fredric March from 1959-60 filmed by Towers of London at Elstree Studios.) just listed in our Ebay Store.
A mystery however - IMDB lists 14 episodes made, which is confirmed by a listing of Elstree productions and Wikipedia
But .... those lists of episodes do not include 'Miss Havisham', a tale from Great Expectations. This episode starred Florence Eldridge who was the wife of Fredric March, the presenter - it has both opening and closing credits with the cast.
Maybe it was made by March to feature his wife Florence Eldridge in the twilight of her career (she is listed in only 1 other film post 1960). Or maybe the deal for Series 1 was limited to 14 episodes and this would have been the start of a 2nd series which never continued ?
It would be interesting to find out !! If you know anything - drop us a message so we can share
