Oliver Twist (1997 Film)
''Oliver Twist'' is a 1997 American made-for-television film based on Charles Dickens’s 1838 novel of the same title.

Mr. Bumble, Corney's assistant, is only in one scene, and the Widow Corney's role is expanded. And, as in the musical and the 1968 film ''Oliver!'', Nancy is murdered at London Bridg ...
