Oliver Twist (Disney Version) Too dark, images have too shadows. Regular version, Faggin was not the best characterization as other versions.
Oliver! This Musical was one triumph! Carol Reed was the Director won an ... Read More
Rating: - the ultimate version!
I have been waiting for this version, as it is , in my opinion, vastly superior to many of the newer version.

It is funny touching, absorbing, gripping and a highly satisfactory production. To praise one character over the rest of the cast is not fair. Eric Porter, of course, is welknown, whereas the rest are fairly unfamiliar, but everybody does a splendid job.
