Description

Oliver Twist is a 1933 in film American film directed by William J. Cowen. It is an adaptation of Charles Dickens’s popular novel Oliver Twist and was the first sound version of the classic. It stars Irving Pichel as Fagin, Dickie Moore (actor) as Oliver, Doris Lloyd as Nancy, and William “Stage” Boyd as Bill Sikes. Pichel played Fagin without resorting to any mannerisms which could be construed as offensive.
Released by Monogram Pictures, the film was made on an extremely low budget. It never really achieved much success and was out of circulation for many years, but resurfaced on television in the 1980s.
