Unbelievably I was besotted with Jack Wild from the time I saw him (at the age of 3!) in Oliver on the cinema screen and then in H.R. Pufnstuf and he was my invisible friend in my first year at school! I fell in love with him all over again when he was in Practical Math with Arthur English... there'll always be a spot in my heart for that serious young man with the sad eyes.
It's called "Working on it Night and Day" sadly I don't know who did it and when I looked it up, I couldn't find a single site, even places where the CD or DVD are being sold that has a listing for the performer. Sad
In both movies "Oliver" & "Melody" Mark Lester was the passive easy going type but that Jack Wild, boy O boy! In both those movies and in other acting roles etc., he was one hell of a show stealing, ass kicking whipper snapper.
Yeah, Unhooked: I had more than a dance with lovely slim free-range girls like those back in the day before today's dire dishonest drivel, PC/Pure Cowardice, force fed obesity and mindlessjUnK-media muck - the golden rule which always ruled was, 'No Threat No Sweat' - ther was never any shortage of cuddles,kisses and more, and I as never once taken advantage of !
This is a great scene. This movie really showed off Jack's acting ability. A lot of stuff he did back then didn't require a lot of talent, which was awful because he had SO MUCH of it. I think his portrayal of Ornshaw, the troubled youth was really amazing.
Huh, you only ever hear Ornshaw get called by his last name. At 0:50 the kid calls him Tom, so it was Tom Ornshaw, aw. Loved Jack, R.I.P

@TejMulen Exactly.... That was the character he was supposed to play..
A typical cockney lad from a working class background..
And who can deny the fact that he did it brilliantly......

I hated the end for this movie. But I loved Jack Wild on this.
I still don't get why two fourteen(?)-year-olds would get married. xD
