James D'arcy, the handsome, yet excellent actor who the whole play is about, really does himself good in this Dickens play. He is an excellent actor and the whole play is made even better by him, and the other great actors. Charles Dance, playing Ralph Nickelby, the uncle of Nicholas, plays a great part, I didn't think he would be all that good, but really has outdone himself yet again. I was surprised to see that Madeline Bray was not in the list of cast members I looked at earlier. Did anyone else notice that?!!! Even though I am only 14 years old, this play inspired me to watch other Dickens films, and read other books by the man. I thought this film was great, and highly enjoyed watching it.
