Oliver Reed is the nephew of the films director Sir Carol Reed. Although he resisted working with him for years because he didn't want to people to think he got work becuase of nepotism.

Youtalkingtome

That's so funny, given how commonplace nepotism is in Hollywood today. Reed certainly established himself as a great actor without the added help.

In a funny coincidence both this movie and Pete’s Dragon had the same budget and box office gross not counting the 10 years inflation between them. Oliver is all on soundstage compared to the location shooting added in for Pete’s Dragon.

Jonathan

This musical was everywhere in the late 80s since the Disney animated adaptation Oliver and Company had renewed interest and the license to perform the 1960 stage show was pretty cheap. Every community theater and school was doing it. I was in a few productions as one of the pickpocket kids or an understudy for artful dodger

Jonathan

I was planning to sprinkle in a Disney movie every few months next year and Newsies is on the list.

For the Who Will Buy number they recreated the entirety of Bloomsbury Square on the studio backlot. The other big production number, Consider Yourself, took 3 weeks to film. The cast rehearsed for 6 months before filming started. You probably remember Jack Wild from H.R. Puffinstuff and Mark Lester from 1977s The Prince and the Pauper. The film received 19 Oscar nominations and won 6, including Best Picture and Best Director and was the last musical to win Best Picture until Chicago in 2002.

Ben Gilbert

I bought the VHS in the 80s. I probably watched it a couple of dozen times.

Ben Gilbert

Davy Jones of the Monkees was the original Artful Dodger on Broadway.

Ben Gilbert

The original with Christian Bale, or the movie version of the Broadway musical?

Jonathan

The original, I know it’s far from perfect but I think they will enjoy the fun of it and that version has the nostalgia for me.

Harriet Loughnan

As a musical obsessive I love when you cover musicals. So ready for this one. Growing up my mum would always jokingly say “Shut up and drink your gin” every time we complained about something.

Ben Gilbert

One reason they made Fagin more sympathetic is they wanted to put some distance between this Fagin and the stereotypical anti-Semitic versions in the book and earlier films. Alec Guinness’ makeup in the David Lean movie is horribly insulting.

Ben Gilbert

That's the only one I've seen.

Suzanne Whyte

I’ve been waiting for this one. This was on tv all the time so I watched it every year. I can’t say I ever realised it wasn’t Mark Lester singing though. Also, it was the Consider Yourself at Home song that Boyle was singing on Brooklyn Nine Nine several episodes back when Jake let him choose the music in the car.

Andy Schreiber

This is such an amazingly well done film adaptation of a musical. The production numbers, the set design, all completely mind-blowing. And none of it on location - all in studio and backlot. Interesting side note - Shani Wallis, who played Nancy, recently made a surprise appearance on Britain's Got Talent. She's 92, looks great, and sang "As long as he needs me," her big number from this. It's pretty amazing. You can check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7JHtDOVlKc

ahh, my favourite G-rated topics: child trafficking and beating to death of prostitutes by pimps

There was a whole subplot in the original book which made getting Oliver back and into crime much, much more important. This removed subplot is a better explanation as to why Fagin and Bill Sikes want Oliver back so bad. In the movie, it's just "Oh, he may give our hideout away." which seems a little weak. In the book, Oliver is the illegitimate son of a wealthy man who also had a legitimate son with a wife. So Oliver has a half-brother. The wealthy man left a will which included both sons. Oliver's mom runs away while pregnant to "save the good name of her family", so no one knows who Oliver actually is, until eventually his half-brother tracks him down. This half-brother of Oliver named Monks knows that Oliver would inherit most of their father's fortune one day, as long as Oliver has a "good character". Monks was not a nice guy, and his father could see that when he wrote the will. Monks keeps tabs on Oliver from a distance, not bothering to save him from the workhouse. Then he joins forces with Bill Sikes to try and ruin Oliver's life once he tracks him down again. Mr. Brownlow, who adopts Oliver in both the book and movie, is originally simply a really nice guy, not a relative. It's just icing on the cake that it turns out Oliver had inherited his own fortune. In the movie he turns out to be a long lost uncle. There's other characters and plot points left out also, but I think it's just as well. Oliver! won the Oscar for best film that year, but it does go on for almost three hours. It was a sign of Dicken's time that Oliver was secretly of the upper class. The idea of a truly lower class orphan being elevated to a higher position was a mind-blower back then in that culture.

I am certain that I watched this movie when I was a kid - but I was amazed to only just now realise that the famous line “MORE!” was delivered by the incredibly talented Harry Secombe, as Mr Bumble. He, together with the equally talented Spike Milligan and Peter Sellers (yes, that Peter Sellers) were the masterminds behind the “Goon Show”, a groundbreaking, influential British radio comedy broadcast that was one of the influences of the iconic Monty Python

Ben Gilbert

It was either G or M. The MPAA ratings had only been introduced the month before and there was some uncertainty about them. The M rating in particular caused some confusion. That said, Oliver! Is the only G rated film to win a Best Picture Oscar and the following year Midnight Cowboy is the only X rated movie to win Best Picture. They changed M to GP a couple of years later then changed it to PG.

Ben Gilbert

He was also a singer with several charted songs, and a writer. I read his book, Welsh Fargo, several years ago.

Youtalkingtome

Oh man, that makes so much more sense! We were truly baffled as to why they just didn't let Oliver go; it seemed like such a huge hassle with little motivation. Thank you for clearing that up!

Ben Gilbert

The actor playing Fagin in the recent West End revival is outright handsome, if scruffy.

Biff McKeldin

Yes! But sadly he's not on the Broadway Cast Album because it was recorded during it's pre-Broadway try out in Los Angeles. The original Dodger had grown out of the role so he was replaced by Jones on Broadway.

Biff McKeldin

The make-up (which given that it had only been three years since the Holocaust) was incredibly insensitive. Lean was attempting to be as true to George Cruickshank's original illustrations as possible. In spite of this, I can't recommend David Lean's OLIVER TWIST highly enough. It's as close to a perfect adaptation of a classic novel as I think there will ever be. Lean found a way to transpose Dickens' prose into images. He pared down the dialog to a minimum and allowed the visuals to convey Dickens' words. He also intelligently telescoped the plot (basically leaving out the second half) and wisely put Oliver back in Bill's clutches for the denouement. All of these abridgements Lionel Bart used when he wrote OLIVER! for the stage (and they were carried over to the movie version).

Biff McKeldin

OLIVER! holds a special place in my heart. It's the first live musical play I ever saw. I was five years old (1966), but already knew all the songs. My parents had seen on it Broadway and immediately bought the cast album and I'd have them play it for me, over and over. So OLIVER! introduced me to two things that would become very important to me: musical theater and the novels of Charles Dickens.

Ben Gilbert

I think they have clips of his performance on YouTube.

Ben Gilbert

Have you seen the Polanski version from 2005? I skipped it because there must be dozens of Oliver Twist films aand how many do you really need to see?

DelGuy03

I saw a stage revival of Oliver! in NYC a couple of years ago, and realized that the whole inheritance plot is kept in the stage musical, which I hadn't realized before. I guess the movie wanted to streamline things.

Lisa Klug

Wow, I had no idea! Now I want to see the stage version.

DelGuy03

I'm so glad you did this. Sorry for not finding time for all of it till now. This musical was first done in London. The US company did a big national tour and then opened on Broadway and ran for 774 performances. There have been multiple revivals in both cities and of course massive numbers of school and community productions.

DelGuy03

Oliver! was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won 5 (Picture, Director, Art Direction (no location shooting; all created in studio -- I especially like how John Box's sets like the big alleyway have a painted backdrop just noticeable in the distance, it somehow fits and adds to the atmosphere), Adaptation Score for a Musical (I find Johnny Green's orchestrations to be some of the best ever)., and Sound. In addition, though there was no category for choreography, Onna White was given an honorary award for hers. (Again, some of the best ever); you said you didn't recognize her name; she worked mostly onstage, but you may be familiar with her outstanding work from the movies The Music Man and Bye Bye Birdie.
