Review of Oliver! (1968) by Monty P — 24 Oct 2008
The last good old-fashioned musical of the 1960s, "Oliver!" is of course a musicalized version of Charles Dickens' classic novel "Oliver Twist." Although the book was very dark (much like the current remake), this musical still gets the story across, adding a bit of hope to the lifes within the story.
The unforgettable tunes include ?Food Glorious Food?, ?Consider Yourself?, ?You?ve Got To Pick A Pocket Or Two?, ?I?d Do Anything? and ?Oom-Pah-Pah? ? all immensely catchy songs, conveyed via very well put together sequences. The film is a thoroughly entertaining experience and never really loses momentum.
