@stryker1121 Fun fact: the character watto in Star wars episode 1 was based off of this version of fagin.
Which means the film has 2 peopel pretending to be alec guinness in two seperate roles.

@stryker1121 I believe he's doing a stereotypical "English Jewish" accent, complete with lisp. I don't know that I really like the depiction (the nose is just too much), but this is a great, great film, one of my favorites.

I have a hard time buying into Carol Reed's version of Oliver Twist, for many reasons. The cast in Lean's adaptation is uniformly perfect (even Sykes' dog!), and the cinematography is sublime, black and white camerawork has rarely looked as good as this in any film. Reed's Odd Man Out also possesses stunning b&w visuals, I think that it and Lean's Oliver Twist are required viewing for anyone who loves black and white cinema.

What kind of accent is Guiness doing here? He looks like such a stereotyped version of an old "hebrew" that it's almost funny.
Jack Wild is the best dodger ever! No-one can be as artf good as him!

The Artful Dodger in this movie is none other than Anthony Newley. So talented!
