Editorial Review
--------------------

Film buffs and critics can argue until their faces turn blue about whether this
lavish Dickensian musical deserved the Academy Award for Best Picture of
1968, but the movie speaks for itself on grandly entertaining terms. Adapted
from Dickens's classic novel, it's one of the most dramatically involving and
artistically impressive musicals of the 1960s, directed by Carol Reed with a
delightful enthusiasm that would surely have impressed Dickens himself.
Mark Lester plays the waifish orphan Oliver Twist, who is befriended by the
pickpocketing Artful Dodger (Jack Wild) and recruited into the gang of boy
thieves led by Fagin (played to perfection by Ron Moody). The villainous Bill
Sikes (Oliver Reed) casts his long shadow over Oliver and his friends, but the
young orphan is still able to find loving care in the most desperate of
circumstances. Full of memorable melodies and splendid lyrics, Oliver! is a
timeless film, prompting even hard-to-please critic Pauline Kael to call it "a
superb demonstration of intelligent craftsmanship," and to further observe
that "it's as if the movie set out to be a tribute to Dickens and his melodramatic
art as well as to tell the story of Oliver Twist." --Jeff Shannon

Enjoy!
