Entertainment Reviews:
The focus of the movie is so wide, and the logistics of the production so heavy, that Oliver himself, dutifully played by 9-year-old Mark Lester, gets flattened out and almost lost, as if he had been run over by a studio bulldozer.

Rating: 5/5 --
With all these wonderful songs and vigorous playing from the top-notch cast, it's a national treasure.

Sky Cinema
Mistrust a movie with too many close-ups of Bisto Kid children and doleful dogs: they suggest a director cleverly boxing his way out of some very tight script corners.

...[Reed has] one of the juiciest roles of his career as the murderous Bill Sykes...
Total Film
[A] picture that will as firmly imprint itself on the imagination of the young as did some scenes in Snow White more than a generation ago.

Even if you're not a fan of the musicals, Oliver is so witty, so bright and so endearing that even the iciest viewer should start melting in its corona.

Today, it works well as a child's introduction to Dickens.

Product Description:
A rousing film version of Lionel Bart's musical adaptation of Charles Dickens's classic novel, OLIVER! stars Ron Moody as Fagin and Mark Lester as the eponymous hero. The orphaned Oliver escapes to London from a dreary workhouse and is taken in by a gang of young pickpockets who work for master thief Fagin while learning their trade. When he's falsely accused of stealing from the gang by the fearsome Bill Sikes (Oliver Reed), Oliver begins to realize that he has more friends than he had thought.
