again and take a look at him.  (My mother absolutely refuses to be in the

I think that would be the pawnbroker, as I remember it.
And I agree with your mother - the first time I watched that thing, my heart 
was breaking and I wanted to scream at all those mean characters - 'what's 
wrong with you people, how can you abuse that child!' Dan was incredibly 
adorable in that and such sad, old eyes on a child ;-)
That scene of him in the gutter, all dirty and worn out from his walk gets me 
every time. What a poster child for Dickensian child abuse <g>
And of course, I love the scene wherein Maggie Smith, playing Aunt Betsy, 
gives the poor kid a bath ;-)
