Charles Dickens's classic tale of orphan struggle is brought to the screen once more--this time by PBS in a six-hour miniseries originally broadcast in October of 2000. When his mother (Sophia Myles) is unable to support him, the eponymous young Twist (Sam Smith) becomes doomed to wither away his youth in the horrid bowels of Parish Workhouse. From there, however, Twist is sold as an apprentice into an even more abusive circumstance. Before long, he goes on a series of adventures with a variety of characters. A beloved tale of overcoming odds.

User Reviews: Oliver Twist (1999)

  • Overall:

    Beautifully written and acted...the best

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 3, 2002

    This version is by far the best "Oliver Twist" that I have seen. The backstory is a stroke of genius, and rather than finding the added murder revolting, I thought it made much more sense than Edwin Leeford supposedly dying of a "vague, undefinable d...esease", ever so conveniently. I like Dickens, but such an easy out is rather unrealistic, and so I'm glad Beasdale improved upon it. I seriously doubt Dickens would have been sickened.Also, the fact that everything is revealed about Oliver's parentage in the beginning, rather than being a mystery, adds rather than detracts. It makes it more suspenseful, as we know all along and are just waiting for the characters to find out before it's too late.The acting of Marc Warren as Edward "Monks" Leeford stood out to me as he portrayed a very intriguing character, but everyone was equally marvelous. Micheal Kitchen was great as Brownlow, and Sam Smith as Oliver played an important role with skill surprising in such a young actor. I give this 10 stars! Read more Less
