Pip "Great Expectations" follows the story of Pip, an impoverished lad, who becomes a servant to a rich old lady, Miss Haversham, who was jilted at the altar and has grieved ever since. There he meets the beautiful, but spoilt, Estella, who is destined to play a major part in his life. Later, he receives money from a mysterious, wealthy benefactor and becomes a well-to-do "gentleman". But who is the anonymous benefactor? The wrong answers: Herbert is Pip's gentleman friend (played by Alec Guinness in the 1948 movie). Magwitch is an escaped convict who is assisted by a Pip as a young boy. Joe is an old friend of Pip from his impoverished past. John Mills was a stalwart of the British movie business for over 60 years. He enlisted in the army at the outbreak of World War II (1939), but he was discharged in 1942 on medical grounds. To UK movie audiences, he is perhaps best known for playing military roles, such as "In Which We Serve" (1942), "Ice-Cold in Alex" (1958) and "Dunkirk" (1958).
