| There he meets up with the wily Artful Dodger who takes him to thief and fence Fagin, who is in charge of a gang of young pickpockets. |
| For Polanski portrays the fence Fagin and his gang of children who steal silk handkerchiefs, pocket watches and wallets in a far more sympathetic light than the authorities. |
| In the film Oliver's attempt to get Fagin to pray is overwhelmed by the emotional intensity of Fagin's sense of parting from the young orphan he took in. |
| Although referred to by the witness Police Constable Fagin during the course of her testimony the print out was not produced in evidence before me. |
| Fagin, Sykes and Dodger use much more Dickensian language and pepper their sentences with thieves' cant. |
| What saves the film, without doubt, is Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Fagin, which is brilliant. |
