David Lean directs, Robert Newton and Alec Guinness star.
First time I have see it. Marvellous stuff. Think I'm going to look for more of Dickens' stuff.
Fascinating seeing Victorian London as well.

That's the best version imo. Guinness made a great Fagin. And speaking of Dickens, I just watched Scrooge (1935), starring Seymour Hicks, the other night. It was decent but not nearly as good as the 1938 and 1951 versions.

Will definitely watch if they do, however.

Robert Newton gave the outstanding performance.
Shame he's only remembered for Long John Silver.
