Cast: Ron Moody (Fagin), Shani Wallis (Nancy), Oliver Reed (Bill Sikes), Harry Secombe (Mr. Bumble), Hugh Griffith (The Magistrate), Mark Lester (Oliver), Jack Wild (The Artful Dodger), Joseph O'Conor (Mr. Brownlow), Peggy Mount (Mrs. Bumble), Hylda Baker (Mrs. Sowerberry), Megs Jenkins (Mrs. Bedwin), Leonard Rossiter (Sowerberry), James Hayter (Mr. Jessop), Sheila White (Bet), Kenneth Cranham (Noah Claypole).Summary: A young orphan, Oliver is left to fend for himself until he is befriended by a band of young thieves who quickly train him in their craft. But Oliver is not content to be a thief--for he knows that life holds great joys and true happiness cannot be stolen--but must be earned. Arguably the last great old-fashioned movie musical to receive near-universal critical acclaim, Oliver! first hit screens more than 37 years ago. As transformed into a film, the timeless West End and Broadway show remains incredibly faithful to the classic work of literature by Charles Dickens, dank and dark, an anomaly of song-and-dance cinema. A film of many facets, it is both a warts-and-all view of Victorian London, an adaptation of a classic novel, a salient slice of significant social commentary, and a rip-roaring tune-filled toe tapper to boot.
