Oliver Twist (1922)

 



Director: Frank Lloyd
Stars: Jackie Coogan, Edouard Trebaol, Lon Chaney, Taylor Graves, George Siegmann, Gladys Brockwell, Lionel Belmore, James A. Marcus, Aggie Herring, Lewis Sargent

An adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1838 novel of the same name. The orphaned Oliver, labelled a "troublemaker" because he dares to ask for more food, is farmed out to work as an undertaker's assistant. Escaping his cruel master, Oliver falls in with a gang of pickpockets, headed by the colorful Fagin. Kindly Mr. Brownlow, Oliver's real grandfather, tries to help the lad, but the evil Bill Sikes complicates matters. 
Long believed to be a lost film, Oliver Twist was painstakingly restored in the early 1970s, using bits and pieces from various foreign prints and negatives.
