1984 (1954) Tv Bbc

Probably one of the best renditions of the story that is based on the book “1984” written by George Orwell. Basic story: In a society that has eliminated many imbalances, surplus goods, and even class struggles, there are bound to be deviates; Winston Smith is one of those. He starts, due to his inability to doublethink, with thoughtcrime. This is in a society that believes the thought is as real as the deed. Eventually, he graduates through a series of misdemeanors to illicit s-e-x and even plans to overthrow the very government that took him in as an orphan. If he gets caught, he will be sent to the “Ministry of Love,” where they have a record of 100% cures for this sort of insanity. They will even forgive his past indiscretions. Peter Cushing, a veteran actor, plays Winston Smith. The TV film is in black and white. There are clips of this film in other 1984 documentaries. Copies are hard to find. With any luck, this film will show up on a Criterion DVD. Be sure to watch the four different movies made from this book: 1984 - Studio One (1953) S6 E1 Eddie Albert as Winston Smith 1984 (1954) Peter Cushing as Winston Smith 1984 (1956) Edmond O’Brien as Winston Smith Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984) John Hurt as Winston Smith
