   The major difference is that the film leaves out everything in the novel that refers to Oliver's past history.

   A second difference is that the film avoids the novel's episodic structure with multiple cliffhangers ( a by-product of its serialised publication) in favour of a more direct, linear progression.

   There is useful material on the website of the British Film Institute, below.
