Review of Oliver! (1968) by Donna . — 22 Jan 2008
A highly entertaining and lively musical adaptation of the classic Dickens tale.
Not only is this my favourite adaptation of Oliver Twist, but it is also one of my favourite musicals of all time.
All the cast are superb, especially Ron Moody (in an Oscar nominated role) as the sneaky, conniving Fagin and Jack Wild (in an Oscar nominated role) as the mischievous, street-smart Artful Dodger.
The music is superb, especially the songs "Who Will Buy?" and "Pick a Pocket".
It fully deserved its 5 Oscars, including Best Picture.
