Summary: Denholm Elliot and Diana Rigg star in Charles Dickens' biting social commentary on the justice system of 19th century England.

John Jarndyce (Elliot), a good-natured country gentleman, refuses to let it control his life. But one of his wards is not so fortunate. Like so many before him, the young man gets caught up in the labrynthine suit and the intrigue that surrounds it. A powerful tale of greed and social decay.
