Oliver!
Only in the 60s couls you take a cold and dark Dickens novel and turn it into such a riot!! Like all good family movies it makes you feel good, without shying away from the evil and the scary, and like the best musicals, the songs and the set piece dances are all integral to the plot. Fantastic!!
