| What saves the film, without doubt, is Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Fagin, which is brilliant. |
| 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. |
| Without going overboard on the bent-backed, swivel-eyed cackling often brought to the character, his Fagin is believably unscrupulous and self-serving. |
| 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. |
| The Dodger and Charley Bates went out to work every day, but sometimes came home with no handkerchieves, and Fagin would get very angry. |
| Fagin, Sykes and Dodger use much more Dickensian language and pepper their sentences with thieves' cant. |
