Oliver Twist 1948

Starring: Alec Guinness

A foundling falls among thieves but is rescued by a benevolent old gentleman.

A classic that I've seen so many clips from and yet had never seen in its entirety. A brilliant lesson in characterisation throughout. So dark and must have been a horrendous time to live in. Dickens movies can be so clunky at times, but this is an absolute masterpiece.    8/10
