Musical, Drama (UK — 1968)

Young Oliver is an orphan who escapes the cheerless life of the workhouse and takes to the streets of 19th century London. He's immediately taken in by a band of street urchins, headed by the lovable villain, Fagin (Moody), his fiendish henchman, Bill Sikes and his loyal apprentice, The Artful Dodger. Through his education in the fine points of pick-pocketing, Oliver makes away with an unexpected treasure...a home and a family of his own.
