    Fantastic timeless classic. "More boy!" those unforgetable words, poor Oliver! Do not miss this film, they don't make them like this anymore.

  • Not as good as the book

    I am just finishing off reading Charles Dicken's Oliver Twist and had high hopes for this film version (the non-musical one).

    There are few films that are as good as the book but this film was a bit of a let down.

    Huge chunks of the original story are left out in favour of an over-saccharine performance by the little lad that plays Oliver.

    I hear the musical version of the film is the one to see but I'm not keen on musicals so I'm a bit stuck there. Maybe I should stick with the book (which is as good as people say it is by the way)!
