Charles Dickens' classical story about the young orphan boy in 1837 England is again re-filmed in grand fashion. Richard Dreyfuss portrays Fagin, the unscrupulous leader of the young pick-pockets Oliver (Alex Trench) initially falls in with after escaping from a sweat shop and going to London to find his relatives.

It was sickening; the story was mutilated, the characters and situations changed and the dialogue invented.
Charles Dickens must have made 1000 revolutions in his grave.
Those who participated in this disaster, should have their SAG membership revoked.
To see Richard Dreyfuss as Fagin was enough to send me running to the vomitory.
Don't watch it. If it comes on TV, switch channels!
