Charles Dickens wrote a wonderful and one of my favorite still to this day novels, Oliver Twist. In 1968, a brilliant musical version on film was made that I still watch. Many Broadways have performed or just a theater in general, and most I have enjoyed. This is a beautiful story of an orphan, Oliver Twist, who is given away from the orphanage to a coffin maker's business where he is also abused as well. He comes to London to seek his fortune and ends up with a bad crowd of Fagin's little pick pocketers and the treacherous villain, Bill Sykes. But when a mistaken theft is taken by Oliver, the accuser, the kind and wealthy Mr. Brownlow. soon finds out that it was not Oliver and decides to take him in. But when Fagin finds out and fears his business to be out in the open, he makes Oliver's only friend, Bill's wife, Nancy, kidnap him. Can Oliver come back into a decent life? Watch the film.
Roman took a wonderful story and he turned it into a beautiful and lovely film to watch. I think though, I have a little hard time because "Oliver!"(the 68 version) is just so bright and wonderful. This was a darker tale I felt; but still I would highly recommend it because of it's beautiful cinematography and great acting. Roman has done it again, and enjoy the movie! 7/10
