JACKIE COOGAN in the film

OLIVER TWIST (1922)

Based on the novel by CHARLES DICKENS

Director FRANK LLOYD

"When this book appeared for the first time, I expected,

that will not be well perceived from a moral point of view.

He looked very rude and disrespectful, that many of the persons,

acting on these pages, are taken from the most criminal

and low layers of the London population.

Sykes - thief, Fagan - concealer of stolen goods,

Boys - pickpockets, and Nancy is a prostitute.

Writing the book, I saw no reason why this dregs of society,

makes sure that her language does not irritate the ear, cannot serve moral purposes.

In this spirit, I wanted to show the good in little Oliver,

which despite adverse circumstances

In the end, he held on to win, the best showing

in such an environment." Charles Dickens

Among public buildings of an English city

there was also a shelter for the poor...

Here was born the mortal whose name stands in the title of this story.

"It's all over, Mrs. Tingami! They found her lying on the street

and no one knows where it came from, nor what his name is."

The unwanted baby, not surrounded by caring grandmothers, anxious aunts

or by carers, somehow manages to survive.

Already tagged and labeled, he took his place -

an orphan from a poorhouse, despised by the everyone and nowhere regretful.

Nine years later. Oliver is in the orphanage.

Mr. Bumble is the curator of the shelter. In it, every day is worked double.

Mrs. Corney - Experienced Superintendent. In her case, every day is worked triple.

"Now don't take offense to that, I'll tell you what, Mr. Bumble,

but don't you have a little of the gin, that I keep for medical purposes?"

The Fate of Orphans in English charity...

Here they are "educated" and trained of a "useful" craft.

Mr. Bumble gives the surnames of pets in the shelter in alphabetical order,

after Jonathan Subtle Oliver should have been a Twist!

"If I don't get a bigger helping of mush..."

"...I'm afraid I might eat one of you."

"Someone needs to ask further. We will choose him by lot."

"Very tasty and nutritious food!"

"There's one left. Who hasn't downloaded?"

"Oliver will be."

Shelter authorities agree,

that 7.5p a week isn't bad an amount for child support.

"Please sir, I want more."

"Mr. Limkins, excuse me, sir! Oliver Twist asked for more mush!"

"He asked for more! After he has eaten his due for dinner!"

"I'm sure this boy will end up on the gallows!"

At this time it was ordered that Oliver immediately be sent into exile,

because he has asked for additional portion - a shameful crime.

Hungry Hungry Oliver! He dreams of food, hearty food.

Rewarded by the reward, granted by the shelter to get rid

From such dangerous personalities, the undertaker Mr. Sowerbury takes Oliver as an apprentice.

"Yes, unfortunately he is petty. But he will grow up. He will grow up!"

"Its maintenance is not expensive because has not overeaten since he was born!"

Oliver, now the undertaker's apprentice, at the first funeral

comes to an unpleasant conclusion about his master's work.

New apprentice meets with his colleague Noah Claypool,

who takes pleasure to make fun of the new boy.

Charlotte, the undertaker's maid.

Dark bedroom.

While Oliver lies huddled among the coffins, uncertain of fate,

joyful events arise.

First class silver.

"Such wonderful things and rent-free housing.

A great opportunity to connect their hearts, creating a common home!"

The month is over and Oliver was formally accepted as an apprentice.

"What your mother died of, shelter dog?"

"Out of a broken heart, so they told me the old sisters in the shelter!"

"Your mother was the biggest whore and well, she's dead,

otherwise it would to hang on the gallows."

"Ah you ungrateful bastard. So do you repay my kindness?"

"I'll take you back to the shelter tomorrow!"

At the same time, the shelter was struggling for her life old Mrs. Tingami,

The only one she remembered Oliver's mother's death.

"It was on this bed that the woman gave birth to the boy. They named him Oliver."

"I stole this pendant. She had only him. It's made of gold."

Mrs. Corney understands that the golden pendant may have been that of a rich lady.

He hopes to hide in a place where no one,

even Mr. Bumble wouldn't find it.

The Passenger beckons Oliver, to see how far he can run

halfpenny boy.

Alky Bumble, learning of the Oliver's possible legacy,

meets Monks, whom he questioned about the boy.

"I have proof of Oliver, but alas, he escaped."

"Now it's even more important to find it."

Sowing food and water, after 7 days Oliver finally sees London.

Jack Dawkins, famous among the close his friends as "The Cunning Dodger."

"Hey, buddy. What's up?"

"Once I heard the boys to talk about London."

"Keep everything a secret. When I am in London I might run into him."

"Do you live in London?"

"Yeah, when I'm home. I guess you're looking for a place,

where to eat and sleep. Don't worry about it."

"I know an honorable old gentleman, who will shelter you without money."

"Let's go. Get up!"

Field Lane in London, where even the air was dirty.

The House of the "Cunning Cunning Man" and his "friends."

Fagan - sly, old, frowning creep,

who gets rich by teaching the homeless to steal.

"Be kind. He will be polite to you, if you show respect for him."

"They almost caught up with me this time. I think I slipped away from them."

"Let me introduce you to another from my little boys... Charlie Bates."

And now we're going to meet Bill Sykes, one of Fagan's accomplices.

He is about to play an important role in Oliver's life.

Nancy, his wife.

"I have good news about the job at Chertsey.

He asked me about the little boy. I have one."

"He's small and smart. That's exactly who you need."

Oliver watches the funny old gentleman and the boys

playing an unusual "game."

"Excuse me, sir, Can I play too?"

Monks learned from friends for the "new boy" at Fagan!

"Yes, the boy is one of mine now. Can we talk in private?"

"I want to anyone not to show the boy."

"Whatever you say, Monks. I would never contradict you."

"Hey, Betsy. Hi, Nancy. We have a new boy."

The next day the boys practiced their craft.

"First quality."

Mr. Brownlow.

"Yes, I'm afraid that's the thief."

"Nancy, my dear, go to the police."

"Convince them that Oliver is your poor, sweet, innocent little brother."

"I'm not sure this boy stole my purse.

I will not press charges."

"In the event of compelling evidence, will get three months of hard labor."

"I own a bookstore, sir. I saw the arrestee with two other guys.

The theft was committed by the other boys. That boy did nothing.

It was itself stunned and shocked."

"You're a smart girl, Nancy. It's an honor for your gender.

You need to release the boy."

"I'll take the boy on his responsibility, your honor."

Mr. Brownlow took care of Oliver to settle well in his new home.

"I'm late. Oliver has been taken from a rich old gentleman."

"About our plan, Bill. They've taken the boy and we have to get him back."

Mrs. Bedwin, the housekeeper to Mr. Brownlow, surrounded Oliver with care.

"At first I thought, that it's just a game."

"My dear friend Brownlow. I know only two types of guys - good and bad."

"I don't doubt it, that Oliver is good and decent."

"I think the opposite."

"I'll test the boy to prove it, that your suspicion is unfounded."

"Oliver, take these books in the bookstore.

You'll pay �4 and 10 shillings. It's a 5-pound note."

"Go back in time with ten shillings change."

"It's my little brother who ran away from our parents."

Late into the evening Oliver never came home...

"I think you were right, Grimwig.

I should have listened to you from the beginning."

Oliver is under Fagan's custody.

"Wake up! Alive! We have work to do!"

"Oliver's training in the ability to steal continues."

"This affects his legacy. Best if it doesn't show up at all."

"You say one more word without me being asked you, I'll shoot you in the head."

Oliver tries valiantly to prevent robbery.

"One of the thieves, miss. He's hurt, miss."

"Don't worry, Monks. When they catch him, Oliver will be in jail for a long time."

"Work is fucked! Oliver is guilty! Bill shot him!"

Noah Claypool and Charlotte arrive in London,

after stealing money from the treasury of his former master.

At old Mrs. Maley's house and her niece Rose

Oliver is surrounded with care and love.

"Nobody did anything for me,

only Mr Brownlow and Mrs Bedwin took care of me."

"Oliver told them all about us."

"Because of the little bastard they can us imprisoned for the rest of our days."

"I'll take care of Oliver!"

"No, don't go, Bill!"

"We have to keep an eye on it. To no one we can trust, especially a woman."

"I hear there's a new boy here."

"I won't rob gravediggers anymore. I need more money."

"My name is Fagan, I'm looking for a smart boy like you, wanting to make some money.

You just have to follow a familiar girl.

Tell me where he goes, who he meets and what he says - and I'll give you money!"

Oliver told Mr Brownlow about his adventures.

"I said he'd be back!"

"It may be so, but you will never get your deposit or your books back!"

For Oliver, the happy times.

Nancy warns Rose about the danger threatening Oliver.

"We need to understand who this Monks is.

I will say to Mr Brownlow. Where can he find you?"

"Every night I will walk on London Bridge."

The Meeting. Rose and Mr. Brownlow are looking for Nancy.

"If you promise not to betray me, I'll tell you where to find Monks."

"You can find it at Fagan's. Fields Lane."

"If we don't catch Monks, we need to get to Fagan.

I promise not to involve you."

"I have to tell you something, Bill. Something that will surprise and terrify you."

"Bill, Noah tracked down Nancy. She betrayed us!"

"She described and told you everything."

"You're not going to be very cruel, right, Bill?"

She suffered, knowing that she had betrayed the only man she loves.

Noah, scared of Nancy's murder, admitted everything to the police.

The Curious Neighbours gathered at Fagan's.

"This is Noah Claypool. He leads the police."

Suddenly he saw Nancy's eyes.

"Come with me, Monks, or I'll makes the accusations publicly."

"It seems to me that this place is not for the likes of us!"

Monks agreed to tell the circumstances

Around Oliver's birth and inheritance.

"My real name is Edward Lyford. Before she died, my mother told me

about a letter she received from my father Edwin, who ran off with another woman."

"My father expected that I would die before the birth of the child on which he believed

to leave his entire fortune. It was disinheriting me.

And when Mr. Bumble brought the locket, I became convinced it belonged to my father."

"If he's my brother, please, don't throw him in jail."

From Thanksgiving Oliver bow down to man,

revealed his real name - Oliver Lyford.
