The movie roles along nicely until the announcement of the benefactor in the blacksmith's shop. I expected Pip at that time to be a young man still working on his apprenticeship, yet the actor playing the role, John Mills, is 37 years old at the time.
Though closer in age to her character, Estella, played by Valerie Hobson, is 10 years beyond being a teenager at the time of filming as well.
John Mills is an excellent actor, but his casting in this movie, based on his mature features, certainly pushes this past the realm of believability.
