DAVID COPPERFIELD (1935) 281 One of the best pictures of the year was M-G-M's David Copperfield, produced by David Selznick. Under George Cukor's direction, it held strictlv to the Dickens story, with admirable results. Frank Lawton played the grown-up David; Edna May Oliver, Betsey Trotwood; Lionel Barrymore, Peggottv; and Basil Rathbone, Mr. Murdstone. The child David was played by a newly discovered youngster of great talent, Freddie Bartholomew, while W. C. Fields contributed a fine portrait of Wilkins Micawber. The last two are shown here.
