The opening shot of Pip running across the moor is wonderful. Today's directors would ruin the effect with cutting -- bringing the camera to Pip instead of the other way around and making it the prime player in the scene. <br /><br /><i>GE</i> featured Jean Simmons, then 17, in one of her first parts.
