Probably the thing that Polanski's Oliver Twist does best, is deliver the mood of the day

The one flaw is a forced action sequence at the end of the picture, but that's hardly a reason to avoid it.

Rated: 3.5/4

Early adaptation of the famous novel, this Monogram production about an orphan child risking a life in crime and corruption from an early age is obviously rushed, cheap and overall poor, as well as outdated and difficult to watch.

This black-and-white film adaptation of 'Oliver Twist' is as good as the original novel, starting with the character's life at the orphanage. It's short yet okay for me.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The story of Oliver Twist is well portrayed as I remember him from the book. Fagan, Doger, Spikes and Nancy are excellent characters.

Dated. And Dickie Moore, despite being irresistibly cute, doesn't do much acting. Doris Lloyd is really good though. As is Irving Pichel.
