Jack Wild (here playing the part of the Artful Dodger) died of oral cancer in 2006. He was 53 years old. He attributed his cancer to his heavy smoking and alcoholism.
The best musical of all times and the people! The British taste, power and culture. Ingenious Maestro Lionel Bart (!!!), ingenious director Carol Reed, the ingenious choreographer, ingenious arrangements (!), outstanding and authentic actors. Glory for ever and ever!
we are singing this is in our musical at school and my music teacher Mr.Paulson told me to watch this. I personally think that when it gets to the meat factory part, its turns into a retarded freak show
@RichardElden Yes it was i actually have it on dvd it was by chance i was looking for a different dvd and came across it complete forgetting what it was.Half decent film tbh.
I had never heard of this, but I had watched Oliver and Company(Disney) and my friends were talkin about Oliver!, and I thought they were talkin about Oliver and Company! Lol
How many times are you going to post the SAME comments on the SAME video. If you dislike this movie and prefer the other versions, go and post comments on those videos instead of wasting your time here. You repetitive bore.
@Lynn290597 Wild was cast because he resembled the character as described in Dickens' novel. Since he was very short and not good looking he didn't have much of a career later on.
@JuanMacready Maybe, since i have only seen about 2. But in my opinion, I think he was really suitable for this role. I'm not saying there aren't better Dodgers out there.
My beautiful London, England 99% full of friendly, sociable, funny White British Londoners when this was made !
Now, 40 yearslater its not, easy to find someone in many parts of Inner London who actually speak English and 30% of all children born last year were to Mothers who were born acroad. Add to that all the children of 2nd/3rd/4th Generation immigrants and already White kids are only 21% of London schoolchildren ( from 99% in 1965 ).
In the 1960's London was the World Centre for Music/Photography/Arts and Fashion ( Kings Road/Carnaby Street etc ) but then it WAS 98% White/British and a more lively, nibrant, stimulating place would be harder to find and I;ve covered most of London since then.:)
I find it so funny how in the book Dodger is such an asshole, but in the movie he is the coolest guy ever! Just like Fagin, they both get their asses handed to them in the book, but here they just walk off into the sunset. This is not a complaint, I actually prefer the movie to the book. Tho the book was way more dark and had a more developed plot, the characters here are more complex (See how Oliver chose to help Dodger to pickpocket and how Fagin thinks about going straight)
@JuanMacready How many times are you going to post the SAME comments on the SAME video. If you dislike this movie and prefer the other versions, go and post comments on those videos instead of wasting your time here. You repetitive bore.
Jack really was a pro. In the scene where they go down the slide, a fish ends up on the slide. He had the presence to yank the fish off there before Oliver can get to the bottom.
@JuanMacready Im sorry to tell you, that you will get into big problems in putting something like that for the public to read. As It was never proved that M. Jackson or Mr Mark Lester was ever convicted of that offence. You are leaveing your self open to slander caes.
@JuanMacready But Mr Mark Lester is still alive and lives in Cheltenham, and you said They which includes him. Also M Jacksons family could take out a law suit on you. But i guess most cowards are the same, they can only talk about dead people.
Wow, you guys. The musical of Oliver is based on the novel Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens. Surely you've heard of him? Yes, the musical and the movie are British. The actors are British. And the reason it's Victorian is because the story of Oliver Twist was published in 1838. It's easy enough to read all of this and more in Wikipedia.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@TrixieinDixie The musical was only very vaguely based on the novel.
The story took place in the 1830s during the reign of William IV. In Sir David Lean's infinitely superior version the Bow Street Runners say "Open in the name of the King."
@JuanMacready - I don't think I ever saw the David Lean version - somehow I missed it. Netflix has this version (actually they offer ten versions of Oliver Twist!) and I have added it to my queue. It is obviously the more realistic view of what life would have been like at the time. Thanks for the suggestion - I look forward to seeing this.
@TrixieinDixie According to wikipedia the novel was originally published in installments in a magazine from February 1837. William IV died in June 1837.
The film is good but nothing compared with seeing it live in Drury Lane a year ago today.
@TrixieinDixie It will still be running until 8th January. Griff Rhys Jones will be replacing Russ Abbott as Fagin for the last part. Ron Moody made a special appearance on 30th June, exactly 50 years after he first played Fagin. I would imagine he will appear on the final performance since 8th January will be his 87th birthday.
i'm sorry but i don't think someone from america or Canada can pull of a good voice, you need to get a good brit guy to play oliver, and then have all the rest act as a brit imo.
@JuanMacready IN HIS BOOK,S HE EAS LETTING THE WORLD KNOW HOW HARD THE LOWER CLASS,ES HAD IT SO IN A WAY HIS MESSAGE CAN STILL BE TOLD THERE IS A NON MUSICAL ADAPTATION ?ALSO WITH HIS CARACTOR FAGIN HE IS HAVING A DIG AT THE JEW,S .SO HE WAS NOT ALL GOOD!
My school's doing Oliver this year, and the drama teacher said I could get one of the larger parts if I felt comfortable singing this. I've never seen Oliver, so this is gonna be new to me.
I love 60s musical films, but has anyone ever noticed that they have almost painfully long dance breaks. Don't get me wrong, I love the dance breaks, but there's always a lot, and they're always REALLY long.
@EYDstudios Well yeah! Back then the musicals weren't very long as they are now. So to fill in spots for the film that had to have long dance breaks. Plus they also need to show that it's a musical.
@EYDstudios It's because most '60s musicals were faithfully based on stage shows, where the dances tend to be longer because it's easier to sit still for a long number when it's live.
am i the only one who feels Olivers voice is well...obnoxious? hey! its the dancing popo! dont ask, somtin with me and my besty, we tend to ridicule the mickey out of these things. meaning ALL movies we watch, as such, i would like to dedicate this to my bff! u know i love ya! happy dancing popo hunting!!!!

@HyperDriveSlash I guess they might be fans ofthe current West End version, which is infinitely better than the film.

@JuanMacready i prefer the movie. Its more victorian style.
west end version= Stage
Film= Actual Streets.
I learned this because at school, we are studying victorians. oliver twist is our topic.

@HyperDriveSlash This was set during the reign of William IV. And it was all filmed entirely in the studio.
