The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, & Observation of David Copperfield the Younger

David Copperfield is a 1935 American film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer based upon Charles Dickens' 1850 novel The Personal History, Adventures, Experience, & Observation of David Copperfield the Younger (though a number of characters and incidents from the novel were omitted). The story was adapted by Hugh Walpole from the Dickens novel, and the film was directed by George Cukor from a screenplay by Howard Estabrook (and the uncredited Lenore J. Coffee). The novel was adapted for three silent film versions prior to this, the first sound production.
