Synopsis:
Roman Polanski directs the classic Charles Dickens' story of a young orphan boy who gets involved with a gang of pickpockets in 19th Century London. Abandoned at an early age, Oliver Twist (BARNEY CLARK) is forced to live in a workhouse lorded over by the awful Mr. Bumble, who cheats the boys of their meager rations. Desperate yet determined, Oliver makes his escape to the streets of London. Penniless and alone, he is lured into a world of crime by the sinister Fagin (Academy-Award® winner SIR BEN KINGSLEY) -- the mastermind of a gang of pint-sized pickpockets. Oliver's rescue by the kindly Mr. Brownlow is only the beginning of a series of adventures that lead him to the promise of a better life.

This quite simply is a wonderful movie. It's as if Charles Dickens were easy to read.All illustrated comics should be this good.It's like strolling through every major art museum and never getting bored or overloaded. It makes me so glad that Roman Polanski is alive and working and not in some California prison. WOW-good movie.
