David Copperfield (1935)
Nel XIX secolo a Londra, il piccolo David è maltrattato dal secondo marito della madre. Quando la donna muore, l'uomo costringe il bambino a lasciare la scuola e lavorare in una fabbrica di vini. Qui David conosce un barbone che diviene il suo migliore amico. La fabbrica fallisce e David viene derubato di tutto ciò che possiede per cui, stanco, lacero e affamato, percorre da solo a piedi alcuni chilometri, tra le mille insidie della Londra vittoriana, fino alla casa di una zia paterna. La donna, impietosita lo accoglie e si affeziona all'orfano e inizia a crescerlo ed istruirlo a sua spese, fronteggiando il patrigno che lo rivorrebbe indietro.
