Trivia and QuotesTrivia Banned on inital release in both Israel and Egypt; in Israel for being anti-Semitic, and in Egypt for making Fagin too sympathetic.

Alfie Bass was considered for the the Artful Dodger, until Kay Walsh, David Lean`s wife at the time, recommended Anthony Newley who was with her in Vice Versa (1948). SPOILER: When Nancy is bludgeoned to death, Sikes`s dog was tricked into scratching at the door by a stuffed cat placed on the other side. | ||
