Critical receptionLeonard Maltin gave the film three out of four stars, calling it a "Flavorful adaptation of Dickens' classic";[7] and TV Guide rated it three out of five stars, writing, "If ever a Dickens novel shouted to be filmed, it was The Pickwick Papers, and a jolly good job was done with this version...It's a very funny film with some of England's best light comedians and comediennes."[8]Colourised versionIn 2012, a digitally restored and colourised version of the film was released on DVD, causing a renewed debate in the UK about colourisation of old black-and-white classics.[9] References1. ^BFI: The Pickwick Papers Linked 2013-12-06 2. ^1 BBFC: The Pickwick Papers (1952) Linked 2013-12-06 3. ^1 The Times, 13 November 1952, page 2, film review – "Dickens on Screen": "The Pickwick Papers goes into the programme at the Gaumont Cinema to-morrow." – Found in The Times Digital Archive 2013-12-06 4. ^The Times, 30 July 1954, page 11: Dickens Film In Russia – Found in The Times Digital Archive 2013-12-06 5. ^The Times, 14 August 1954, page 3, Telegrams in Brief: A new edition of 150,000 copies of 'Pickwick Papers' has been published in Russia, Moscow Radio reports. – Found in The Times Digital Archive 2013-12-06 6. ^Harper, Sue & Porter, Vincent.
