Nell Trent lives with her grandfather, the proprietor of the Old Curiosity Shop. Grandfather has a disquieting secret-a gambling addiction fed by high-interest loans from the bully Daniel Quilp. The villainous Quilp wants to get possession of the shop-and Nell. In league with his lawyer Samson Brass and Samson's sister Sally, Quilp seizes Grandfather's assets. But Nell organizes an escape from the shop in the dead of night, and she and Grandfather begin a harrowing odyssey through the English countryside with their nemesis in hot pursuit.

Enjoy a night in with these popular movies available to stream now with Prime Video.
I thought the film was fine and I'm glad I watched it, but...
I just finished reading the book and almost nothing is based on the book.
They skipped the donkey, Kit's wonderful patrons, the relations between all the actors, the sisters at the girl's school.
Kit spent over a week in prison, in the book.
The single gentlemen's relationship is secret for months.
What about the single gent's friends who help to get Kit free from prison?
What about kit getting his job by being so honest about coming back a week later to work off his shilling advance?
And what happened to Tom? He wasn't even in the film at all.
They should have just made a new title and said it was based on The Old Curiosity Shop.
