Oliver Twist (1948 David Lean & co-scr)

Sensibly jotted here. It's an extraordinary piece of work, e.g. murder of Nancy, finale on rooftop over London. The dog is brilliant (it shivering with fear, for example.) Lean manages to get fear into the young faces well, and manages John Howard Davies (and Anthony Newley) superbly.



There's lots of wonderful deep focus stuff going on from Guy Green.
