PHILIP FRENCH SEZ: "There are all kinds of memorable moments, some widely shared, some personal to a group of friends or a single person. For instance, everyone who's seen David Lean's *Great Expectations* will remember Pip's graveyard encounter with the convict Magwitch until the day they die. Whereas a similarly shocking childhood incident in Alexander Mackendrick's *A High Wind in Jamaica* (1965)---the sudden death of the heroine's little brother---will be a magical moment only for the relatives and admirers of Martin Amis, who played this, his only movie role, at the age of 13."
