This, yet another version of Oliver Twist is something rather peripatetic. The plot, something which I'm certain most people know, in this movie is rather confusing. It comes across as the director throwing scenes together without any purpose. The scene where Oliver asks for more, is missing entirely.
One minute Oliver watches a boy collapse in the field where they are working, the next Mr. Bumble is proposing to the woman who runs the workhouse, and seconds later Oliver is seen working in the Funeral Parlor. Any sense of continuity for why he is there, has been left on the cutting room floor, if ever filmed. The scenery may, arguably, be more realistic, but the story line itself leaves something lacking.
