Probably the thing that Polanski's Oliver Twist does best, is deliver the mood of the day

The one flaw is a forced action sequence at the end of the picture, but that's hardly a reason to avoid it.

This black-and-white film adaptation of Oliver Twist is as good as the original novel, starting with the character's life at the orphanage. It's short yet okay for me.
