Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Alec Guinness as the master pickpocket Fagin is the high point of David Lean's 1948 version of the Dickens classic.

It is safe to proclaim that it is merely a superb piece of motion picture art and, beyond doubt, one of the finest screen translations of a literary classic ever made.

fresh:
Perhaps marginally less beguiling than Great Expectations, but still a moving and enjoyable account of Dickens' masterpiece.
