The Pickwick Papers
The Leo Media & Entertainment Group is proud
to be producing Jill D’Angelo Powers’
major feature film adaptation of Charles Dickens’
first great novel (and his favourite), "The
Pickwick Papers," perhaps the best showcase
of both his great sense of humor and extraordinary
writing skill.
Dickens serves as narrator in this “Pickwick”
adaptation which tells not only the story of his
first great effusion of imagination but of the
beginning of his remarkable career.
Retired businessman Samuel Pickwick and three
fellow members of the 1830s London Pickwick Club
set out to find pastoral enlightenment traveling
the brilliant English countryside.
Their rollicking bliss is interrupted through
encounters with women, both lovely and lonely--widow-aversion
runs throughout--and conmen, garden variety and
professional alike. When Mr. Pickwick finds himself
convicted on a trumped-up charge of breach-of-promise
of marriage, he agrees to be incarcerated in horrid
Fleet prison rather than pay damages to a pair
of scheming lawyers. He is helped through his
mounting troubles by manservant Sam Weller, sexy,
street smart, hero younger, who finds hot romance
of his own.
