i shall scream

as in donsky' s film, the plot of oliver twist is updated to the present day, and moved out of the london poor house onto the streets of a large north american city (in donsky' s film it was new york city, and this film it is toronto). in addition, the tale is told not from oliver' s point of view, but rather that of dodge (nick stahl). the prosaically beautiful oliver (joshua close) falls into the hands of down - and - out young men. dodge takes oliver under his wing and instructs him in the unforgiving arts of drug abuse and prostitution. oliver develops a crush on dodge and views him as his boyfriend, complicating their friendship. dodge does not reciprocate his feelings, and reacts angrily to oliver' s kisses and other signs of affection. as oliver' s innocence dissolves, both young men confront their demons, and ultimately it is dodge who finds he cannot escape his past. dodge is found by his abusive brother around the same time the young men' s caretaker commits suicide, sending dodge into a violent rage at the film' s conclusion .
oliver twist, a boy born in the poorhouse, lives on the streets. he meets a young thief called the artful dodger who introduces him to fagin - leader and teacher of a gang of youthful pickpockets. oliver, however grateful for being taken in, is not a thief and cannot live like one .

oliver' s mother, a penniless outcast, died giving birth to him. as a young boy oliver is brought up in a workhouse, later apprenticed to an uncaring undertaker, and eventually is taken in by a gang of thieves who befriend him for their own purposes. all the while, there are secrets from oliver' s family history waiting to come to light .

i eagerly popped this dvd into my player because i' ve always been captivated by early still and motion photography. i was pleased with the beauty of this silent film: some scenes have a brownish color cast resembling a calotype while others look bluish like a cyanotype. this film follows the novel closely, so dickensians and purists should like it. lon chaney is convincing as fagin, and child star jackie coogan - who enjoyed a resurgence later as uncle fester on
the addams family
- earns the sympathy of the viewer. there are the usual histrionics for this period: this is a silent film, and so they come with the territory. highly recommended to those who like silent films. a must - see for dickens devotees and chaney completists .
when it was found without intertitles in the 1970s, the film was restored with the help of jackie coogan and sol lesser. new intertitles were created by blackhawk films. the version now seen on tcm is from a tinted original, with an excellent organ score by john muri, copyright 1975 by the eastin phelan corporation, and with the original opening credits and intertitles which were apparently located after the blackhawk replacements were temporarily substituted, but which are no longer relevant. see more »
