Product Description
Oliver Twist David Lean's brilliant adaptation of the Dicken's classic. Oliver Twist, orphaned at birth and raised in the workhouse, is expelled for daring to ask the Beadle for more food. Unhappily apprenticed to an undertaker, Oliver escapes to London, where he meets the cheeky Artful Dodger (Anthony Newley), the villainous Fagin (Alec Guinness), Sykes (Robert Newton) and the kindly but doomed Nancy. Torn constantly between the forces of good and evil, Oliver eventually seals his fate by picking the pocket of a rich gentleman. Great Expectations David Lean again directs Dickens in this heart-warming story of a young man (John Mills) befriending an escaped convict who becomes his unknown benefactor, and of the conseqences for the young man as he establishes himself in the world. | |
