Oliver!	comment	Oliver! is a 1968 film directed by Carol Reed.It is an adaptation of the theatrical musical Oliver!, which was itself an adaptation of the novel Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens. The film opens with Oliver (Mark Lester) in a grim workhouse for orphans, where the orphans are fed just barely enough gruel to keep them alive. Oliver makes too much trouble at the workhouse (that is, he asks for more gruel), which gets him sold to an undertaker as basically a slave.Oliver escapes from the undertaker and eventually winds up in the company of a thief named Fagin (Ron Moody), who runs a gang of young urchins as pickpockets and thieves. Oliver learns pocket-picking from a fellow orphan and expert thief who is named Jack Dawkins but who is always called the "Artful Dodger" (Jack Wild). Eventually the Artful Dodger picks the pocket of a wealthy gentleman, Mr. Brownlow (Joseph O'Connor)—one who has a surprising connection to Oliver.Oliver Reed plays Bill Sikes, a murderous burglar and partner-in-crime with Fagin. A young Kenneth Cranham plays Noah Claypole.

His face isn't shown until Fagin walks up to greet him.

When the two of them walk in, the rowdy boys playing card games, practising their tricks or chatting loudly over a cigarette, freeze and stare as Dodger and his guest walk past them towards Fagin's office. One boy is so suspicious, he jumps off a high ledge and lands behind Oliver to get a better look, his landing acting as a Jump Scare.

Oliver! / int_3b113b7	comment	Character Development: Fagin provides a very interesting case study. When Oliver first meets him, he's a loud and frightening stranger who emerges from a cloud of smoke like the very Devil from Hell, bellowing at some random youngster who complains about the food to "Shut up and drink your gin!" Then, as Oliver gets introduced to everyone and he shows him around, Fagin starts looking a lot more like a comical villain, particularly during the song "You've Got to Pick a Pocket Or Two" where he hams up his whole Greedy Jew motif to pull some laughs. Later, as things get more serious, he reveals in his song "Reviewing the Situation" that he's tired of his whole criminal enterprise and wants out, but truly has nowhere to go, making him quite a sympathetic character indeed. By the end, he's pretty much run the entire range of Jewish villain characterizations from Shakespeare's time to ours.

In the original novel, Sikes and Oliver's failed robbery was Sikes and Fagin's attempt to corrupt Oliver as part of their and Monks' plan, as well as to introduce Rose and the Maylies. Here, the robbery holds no affect on the plot, and the people of the house are not seen afterwards. If anything, the sole purpose for it was the preparation as a means to give Nancy motivation to save Oliver.

Oliver! / int_c54d550d	comment	Novelization: Random House published a hardcover novelization of the screenplay for younger audiences, illustrated with stills from the film. Among the stills featured were scenes showing the arrival at the workhouse and the death of Oliver's mother, who never appears in the film as was shown. Studio records list Veronica Page as the mother and Henry Kay as the Doctor attending to Oliver's birth.

When Oliver acts up at the Sowerberrys' funeral parlor, the man from the workhouse explains that he's got more spirit now because they've been feeding him meat.

While still somewhat self-serving, he is portrayed as something of a whimsical Loveable Rogue who does to some extent care for his gang (or at least loathes Sikes' treatment of them). Notably, the kids under Fagin's care are better dressed and much better-fed than the ones at the workhouse (even if the sausage is sometimes moldy).

Though the original version has Fagin realizing at the end of each verse that the situation he's imagining is actually unimaginable, so it's debatable how "dark" the reprise is, given that Fagin and Dodger both seem genuinely happy about the prospect:
