Lost in London (TV Movie 1985). 1h 37m

“This is just, really, a retelling of u0026quot;Oliver Twistu0026quot;, with the characteru0026#39;s names (and some of the storyline) changed. A young boy without parents has to rely on the seedier element to survive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere are many of the same characters from Oliver Twist (Fagin, Mr. Sykes, The Artful Dodger) in this story, but with their own twists (and new names). Emmanuel Lewis portrayed the Davey Williams (Oliver) character at the height of his u0026quot;Websteru0026quot; popularity, and his adorable u0026quot;little boy in troubleu0026quot; routine shone through quite well.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis movie is to Oliver Twist what u0026quot;Roxanneu0026quot; was to u0026quot;Cyrano de Bergeracu0026quot;. Itu0026#39;s an updated, twisted retelling of a classic story. Sufficiently well-acted, I would enjoy seeing this made-for-TV film again… but Iu0026#39;m not dying to add it to my personal collection.”
