Oliver Twist (1948) - Criterion Collection description
David Lean's 1948 version of Charles Dickens' classic novel begins with a bang: the young hero's pregnant mother fighting her way through a storm, a perfect metaphor for Oliver's difficult road ahead. Set in a world of slums in the shadow of Victorian England, the story traces the boy's life in a workhouse and then with a gang of little pickpockets. A stark but good-looking film shot around some impressive sets, Lean's immortal adaptation is perhaps best known for Alec Guinness's remarkable (and slightly controversial) performance as Fagin, the old mentor to the gang of boy thieves. --Tom Keogh

Oliver Twist (1948) - Criterion Collection Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

Simply Perfect.

There's nothing I can say that has not been said already but for the sake of giving this movie one more positive review and someone who's never seen it one more reason to see it, I shall embark upon this small quest. Legend is the life of Oliver Twist - full of rags and pain and hunger while his soul was ever alight with love of humanity. Dicken's work is so brilliant one would never believe that it could possibly be translated to the screen...well, for every other version in existence, that holds. But not for Lean's version. Brilliance matched brilliance and words became powerful images of driving rain and vile murderers...and kindly old gents. It is impossible for me not only to say what others haven't said but also to say how truly moving and awe-inspiring this movie is in the words it deserves. Heaven help you if you don't see it, for you will be missing one of the greatest stories of human existence and beauty.
