Oliver Twist DVD

David Lean DVD Collection Box Set [9 Discs, Import, All Regions] (Oliver Twist /Great Expectations / Blithe Spirit / This Happy Breed /Brief Encounter /Madeleine /The Sound Barrier /Hobson's Choice)

Various
This collection, imported from South Korea (and only obtained from sellers), gives ample opportunity to David Lean fans to know some of his "lesser" earlier works. Aside from the best known (like Brief Encounter and Great Expectations) some, like Madaleine are not available in video-tape or DVD in the United States. That and The Passionate Friends are very much worth watching and knowing about. Lean was a first rate director, whose early work has been generally neglected. Should you wish to know his opus in its entirety, try this collection (it does omit his first film, In Which we Serve).

Oliver Twist (2005)

Barney Clark, Ben Kingsley, Jeremy Swift, Ian McNeice, Richard Durden
I am an aficionado of Charles Dickens. I know his literary works inside and out. I consider him a great author (even if he was a bit eccentric and long-winded.) However, after watching this film, (which I purchased for a very low price), I have two questions I would like to have asked the producers and script-writers.

(1) What was the purpose of making another version of Charles Dicken's classic 400 page novel?
(2) Did you really expect the film to sell well considering how many other competing versions are in existence? .

Oliver Twist (1948) - Criterion Collection

Robert Newton, Alec Guinness, Kay Walsh, Francis L. Sullivan, Henry Stephenson
Fabulous film noir, before film noir. One of the most beautiful black and white films I have ever seen. All David Lean's films are superior, this could be his best.

The Charles Dickens Collection, Vol. 1 (Oliver Twist / Martin Chuzzlewit / Bleak House / Hard Times / Great Expectations / Our Mutual Friend) (Slim Case)

Paul McGann, Keeley Hawes, Steven Mackintosh, Anna Friel, Peter Vaughan
The American television network TNT proclaims in its advertisements, "We know drama," but it can't hold a candle to the BBC. Since the sixties, the Beeb has been producing exquisite adaptations of the plays of Shakepeare, Shaw, and Wilde, the novels of Eliot, Austen, and Trollope, and the works of many other treasures of British and Irish literature, not to mention those of other European nations: Ibsen, Checkhov, Dostoeivsky, and so on.

These productions tend to be simple, elegantly-appointed affairs.
