Despite the dark shadow of debtor's prison, Amy lovingly cares for her father William Dorrit (Tom Courtenay), the longest serving inmate. A possibly redemptive light unexpectedly shines in the form of Arthur Clennam (Matthew Macfadyen), who has been left with the intriguing threads of a mystery after his father's death -- threads that will intertwine his family and fate with the Dorrits. Clennam's exhaustive search for answers involves murder, fortunes gained and lost, the upper echelons and lowest dregs of society, and most surprising of all, a tender romance. Adapted by Andrew Davies (Bleak House, Pride and Prejudice), Little Dorrit, based on the book by Charles Dickens, is a sprawling story as timely as it is moving. - Publisher.Not rated.DVD ; region 1, NTSC ; widescreen (16x9, enhanced) presentation ; Dolby digital stereo.Emmy Awards, 2009: Outstanding Miniseries; Outstanding Directing For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Dramatic Special (Dearbhla Walsh for Part 1); Outstanding Writing for a Miniseries, Movie or a Dramatic Special (Andrew Davies); Outstanding Cinematography for a Miniseries or Movie (Lukas Strebel for part 1); Outstanding Art Direction for a Miniseries or Movie; Outstanding Costumes for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special (for part 3); Outstanding Casting for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special.
