A real classic and a rare musical okay for the boy film collector's shelf. Mark lester is wonderful as Oliver though he is beaten to the Oscar by the even greater performance of Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger. This film has everything though what Charles Dickens would've thought of this 'chocolate box' version of his story I don't know. After all, he wrote it as a condemnation of Victorian hypocrisy and the scandalous treatment of the poor in workhouses at that time.
My Movie Rating:
8 / 10 I was very sorry to hear of Jack Wild's passing, he was a great actor, I can remember him on H.R. Pufnstuf and I've seen him in Melody, a memorable performance!
Oliver! is, in my opinion, the best telling of the Oliver Twist story! it's a full circle of entertainment! it has song, dance, comedy, drama, and a little suspence! a well rounded movie!
