Writer-director Douglas McGrath (Emma) brings us a cleverly pared-down but potent version of Charles Dickens’ massive and often darkly humorous study of Victorian corruption, the 2002 period drama-comedy Nicholas Nickleby.

The PG-rated film is also highlighted by a score from Rachel Portman, available on this Twilight Time release as an isolated track.
