"Nicholas Nickleby", a par retelling of the lengthy Dickens novel on the silver screen, has little to praise and little to fault as it presents it's digest in a squeaky clean format with a very robust young man who never coughs playing a cripple with consumption and Nicholas himself with nary a single strand of hair out of place as he suffers gross misfortunes. The good are oh so good and the bad are, well, kind of bad though no one ever kicks a puppy. Good stuff for sentimentalists, romantics, and others who prefer their classic idealized, sanitized, and Disneyesque. (B)
