Expressionistic noir photography suffuses David Lean's Oliver Twist with a nightmarish quality, fitting its bleak, industrial setting. In Dickens' classic tale, an orphan wends his way form cruel apprenticeship to den of thieves in search of a true home. Here Alec Guinness is the quintessential Fagin. |
