The clip below is from Nicholas Nickleby, the 2002 film adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1838 novel The Life And Adventures Of Nicholas Nickleby. It stars a much less hairy Charlie Hunnam as the titular Nicholas, Christopher Plummer as his villainous uncle, and a veritable who's who of well-known British actors in the supporting roles. Particularly outstanding is the always great Juliet Stevenson as the creepy and sadistic Mrs. Squeers. In the scene below, Nathan Lane is Vincent Crummles, the flamboyant founder of the Crummles' theater troupe who employs Nicholas and Smike soon after they make their escape from the ghastly Dotheboys Hall.
