David Lean's much-acclaimed production of the gloomy Dickens classic.

Visually flawless, perfectly paced, it's a masterpiece.

One of two classic Lean adaptations of Charles Dickens. From the opening shot of Oliver's mother struggling through the snow to reach the workhouse. The film brilliantly recreates the feeling of poverty-stricken Victorian England. Look out in particular for Alec Guinness' superb performance as Fagin.

A Freudian script of notable maturity teases limitless implications from this premise, while maintaining a healthy sense of humour.
