Oliver Twist

The first sound version of Charles Dickens' 1839 classic, Oliver Twist tells the story of a young orphan who trades the toils and abuse of a sweatshop for life on the streets of London. When Oliver (Dickie Moore) gets to the city he meets Fagin (Irving Pichel), a crafty, old conman that makes pickpockets out of uncared for children. On the brink of joining Fagin's band of thieves, Oliver's luck seems to change when a kind gentleman takes Oliver under his wing. But Fagin won't be so easily dismissed. Using charm and empty promises, Fagin digs his claws deeper into the boy. Faced with two opposing paths, only Oliver can choose his ultimate destiny. (Echo Bridge Entertainment)
