Summary: Reed succeeds, but Lean triumphs!
Review: With lavish sets, tasteful color, hummable tunes, and two well-cast parts (Moody and Wild), this can hardly fail to be a pleasant slice of solid entertainment. But to the viewer from Ft. Lauderdale and all cinema buffs out there, I cannot stress enough that maestro David Lean's 1948 filming of "Oliver Twist" is the one to see! (See my review--and Amazon's--for the Criterion DVD edition.) For all that "Oliver!" provides in the above categories, "Oliver Twist" blows out of sight. Acting, script, music, everything truly represents cinema at it's utmost brilliant! For you visual connoisseurs, the spellbinding photography and art direction is the greatest ever crafted (you Welles and Kubrick fans which is an ordinary series of shots in Reed's "Oliver!", becomes the most brilliant five minutes in film history in Lean's "Oliver Twist!" P.P.S. Just to prove that I'm not an easy audience, check out my review for "Citizen Kane!"

Summary: Even if you don't like Charles Dickens, you'll love Oliver!!
Review: In the many times I've seen this movie musical it hasn't once bored me.The unforgettable Ron Moody (what ever happened to him?) sets a very lovable character. The stars of this movie however are Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger and Shani Wallis (where did she go?) as Nancy. I still get goosebumps when I hear her version of "As long as he needs me"! Mark Lester as Oliver was a wrong choice for me, unfortunately. The movie captures a very interesting period in history. Carol Reed and Lionel Bart both did a great job! Highly recommended for everyone between 6 and 100 years! Buy it!

Review: Absolutely fabulous! This is an artistic creation that is as artful as it is entertaining. I had a DICKENS of a rollicking time watching this outstanding work. Even Fagin seems a lovable, vulnerable creature.

Summary: A fun musical the whole family can enjoy.
Review: The musical Oliver is based on the famous novel Oliver Twist. Although this version of the story cannot be compared to the original due to its more comic nature, this is a much more palatable version for children to start with. Oliver has several memorable songs including "I'd Do Anything For You" and "You've Got to Pick a Pocket or Two." I would definitely recommend this movie to people who enjoy other musicals such as "The Sound of Music" or "My Fair Lady." However, it has a slightly darker tone to it that has kept it from ever becoming an endearing favorite among musicals.

Summary: Incredible! Amazing! Spellbinding!
Review: Oliver! is a fantastic musical about a young orphan boy trapped in Fagin's gang of thieves. Accompanied by incredible musical numbers and dance sequences, the musical was completely wonderful! The songs were in my head for the next few days!

Review: "Oliver!" has songs you'll just love, such as "Where is Love?", "Consider Yourself", "It's a Fine Life", and "I'll Do Anything". This Oscar-winning movie stars loveable Ron Moody as Fagin, Shani Willis as Nancy, Mark Lester as Oliver, Jack Wild as the Artful Dodger, and Oliver Reed as Bill Sikes. It's definitely worth buying!

Summary: Excellent
Review: This film has to be one of the most classical films ever made in the course of this century. It was an excellent summary of the book by Charles Dickens. The music and choreography were excellent and Moody was excellent as the miserable and dejected Fagin. Songs include "You Gotta Pick a Pocket or Two" and "Food Glorious Food." These and every other songs were absolutely brilliant and the acting was indeed exceptionall.
