I spent the last 2.5 hours watching the 2nd half of the BBC 1983 production of Dickens' DOMBEY AND SON. I watched the first half last night and i enjoyed it very much. Lord, those Victorians were a mess and this one's about a man so obsessed with his young son as an heir to his fortune that he ignores his daughter who craves his affection. Excellent cast, most of whom I'd never seen before, with lots of travails, a great sense of the plight of women pimped by their mothers as trade, a good cry, and some eccentric characters before Dickens wraps it up.
