More on Oliver Twist
Description from Wikipedia:
Oliver Twist is a 2005 film directed by Roman Polanski.
It is based on the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The screenplay is by Ronald Harwood. The plot is considerably simplified in the film, omitting Monks (Oliver's half-brother) and the Maylie family, as well as all of the far-fetched coincidences of the novel, but several scenes that have never been included in film versions of the story are faithfully re-enacted here, such as Oliver's visit to Fagin in Newgate Gaol. There is also a minor change (which is in many film versions), it is the Artful Dodger and not Noah Claypole, who is sent by Fagin to dodge Nancy.
The filming took place in Barrandov Studios (Prague).
It stars the actor Barney Clark in the title role.
Some such as USA Today compared it unfavourably to earlier versions by David Lean and Lionel Bart.
