Oliver Twist (1948 film) Oliver Twist is a 1948 British film and the second of David Lean's two film adaptations of Charles Dickens novels. Following the success of his 1946 version of "Great Expectations", Lean re-assembled much of the same team for his adaptation of Dickens' 1838 novel, including producers Ronald Neame and Anthony Havelock-Allan, cinematographer Guy Green, designer John Bryan and editor Jack Harris. Lean's then-wife, Kay Walsh, who had collaborated on the screenplay for "Great Expectations", played the role of Nancy. John Howard Davies was cast as Oliver, while Alec Guinness portrayed Fagin.
Anthony Hope Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins, better known as Anthony Hope (9 February 1863 – 8 July 1933), was an English novelist and playwright. He was a prolific writer, especially of adventure novels but he is remembered predominantly for only two books: "The Prisoner of Zenda" (1894) and its sequel "Rupert of Hentzau" (1898). These works, "minor classics" of English literature, are set in the contemporaneous fictional country of Ruritania and spawned the genre known as Ruritanian romance, works set in fictional European locales similar to the novels. "Zenda" has inspired many adaptations, most notably the 1937 Hollywood movie of the same name.
