Synopsis
Lionel Bart’s stage musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ literary classic Oliver Twist is brought brilliantly to the screen by Carol Reed, and remains a thrilling, toe-tapping spectacle more than 50 years after it swept the 1969 Academy Awards. From the elaborate and immersive sets of London’s squalid East End to its infectious musical numbers, celebrated choreography and larger than life performances, the story of a plucky young orphan navigating the highs and lows of Victorian England is a must for movie-goers of all ages.
