OLIVER TWIST
Charles Dickens9 Immortal Masterpiece
Featuring Dickie Moore, Irving Pichel, William Boyd, Alec Francis, Barbara Kent, Lionel Belmore and others.
This immortal story by Charles Dickens concerns the adventures of a young orphan, Oliver Twist, in the heartless city of London. The boy, penniless and unversed in the ways of the city, falls in with a gang of crooks. He is trained to be a pickpocket, fails to make good, is rescued by a benevolent gentleman, and climbs at last into an atmosphere of respectability and affluence. Dickie Moore is superb in the title role. Simple, appealing and childish, he wins all hearts and supplies a quaint central figure. Irving Pichel as the cunning Fagin is superb. William (Stage) Boyd as the evil Bill Sikes imparts a sinister quality that is gripping.
PRESS NOTICES:— "Tranf erred to the screen in such a clever manner that all the charm and poignancy of the tale is reproduced with absolute fidelity"; "We cannot recall any classic that has caught the spirit and atmosphere of the original as does Oliver Twist"; "The atmosphere of the old English period has been marvelously reproduced in authentic settings and costuming"; "It has a universal appeal in the dramatic and suspenseful situations, the throbbing heart interest and pathos surrounding the little orphan, in the intense human quality, and with the splendid characterizations of the entire cast."
