	Oliver Twist (1948) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Based on the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist is about an orphan boy who runs away from a workhouse and meets a pickpocket on the streets of London...
		Oliver is taken to work for an undertaker until a fight over his mother makes him run away to London where the masters will never find him.
		The film feels Victorian and hopeless – just like the lives of those in the story, and Lean creates a real atmosphere of despair and fear that is enjoyably dark and has moments that I was surprised to see in a film of the period.

		Known as “quota quickies,” these films were shot at a fast pace on low budgets to meet the demands of the Cinematograph Films Act of 1927, created by the United Kingdom Parliament to require a yearly quota of British-made movies and hopefully counter Hollywood’s dominance of the cinema world.
		Olivier was both its star and director, and as such the film is at the centrepiece of the centenary of his birth in 1907.
		The simple fact is that this is all the actual footage that remains from the film, barring a few alternate shots of existing scenes that survive in trailers.

	Oliver Twist \| \| Guardian Unlimited Arts
		Roman Polanski, like Dickens, had a tempestuous, endangered childhood, and seems the ideal director, but this feels like an over-respectful trawl.
		Ben Kingsley can't quite erase the memories of Alec Guinness in David Lean's 1948 classic, and with Jamie Foreman a distinctly unscary Bill Sikes, there's no great performance to anchor the piece.
		The film's dark, musty interiors are a treat but when the action moves outdoors, its Czech locations hardly have the feel of old London, though the country settings look impressively malevolent.
