One of Charles Dickens' most popular stories, "Oliver Twist," was an early work published in 1837-39. Similar to his later novels, its central theme is the hardship faced by the dispossessed and those on the outside of "polite" society. Accusations were made that the book glamorized crime. (NOTE: This is part 1 of a 3 disc series. The total production runtime is 360 minutes.)
