The thing that amazes me about Jack Wild in Oliver is his Cockney accent. I am a born, and bred Londoner and I always thought he was until I read his Biography which said he was born just outside of Manchester. His family did move to London 3 years before he made this film, but I cannot imagine his accent changed from Manchurian to Cockney in such a short time, this shows what a great child actor Jack Wild was.
40 years later and we have yet to produce anything as magical as this production was/is. remarkable!!! i was born in 1969 when this came out. what an amazing storyline and the best musical ever made. bravo!!!
This Musical, ‘Oliver’. I remember seeing this with my Family. I am 63 yrs., of age now. I think I was about 10 Or 12 Years of age. It Was & Still Is Just Amazing. Brilliant. Sensational. Stupendous in Every Way, & Every Actor, Director(s), Creator(s), Writer(s), Producer(s), Camera Team, Fantastic Everyone! Make-up Artists, Sound Team, Lighting Team. (In Any Order). It Was Certainly A Brilliant Musical & The Great Jack Wilde, God Bless. God Bless To All In Connection to The Musical. Thanks for ths Opportunity to Express my view. Thank You to All. Wow, It’s A Marvellous Musical. X♥️🥰
when I was a little boy my father he took me and my elder brothers to the theater to see this film , I do remember I shake my tear , my father he who believes a good movie will teach a lot to the young one, and indeed it does.
I saw this movie at Tara theater in Atlanta in1969 ! Best time of my life! The opening credits were brilliant! Knew this going to be real quality piece of art. Onna white got aSpecial Oscar! The song is one of the best ever put on film. Period! Especially the ending . masters at work all through the film 2001 was a great film . but not the best of1968! Real talent all around!! Masterpiece!
i loved the joy of this song and the undercurrent of suspense during Oom Pah Pah. i had never read Oliver Twist and was so hoping that Nancy's plan would work. a stand out among movie musicals.
This movie has rank with one of the greatest musicals ever, If memory serves me, I think it won 10 Acadamy Awards. There is one person who was behind the scenes that Does NOT get hardly any credit for thier brilliance in association for this movie. Her name was Onna White and she choreographed this musical. Her Choreography remains some of the best ever in Hollywood. She won a "special category" Oscar for her choreography in this movie.
and she deserved it. not only is the choreography flawless but the actors look believable and not forced while doing these awesome moves. i saw the film version of Hello Dolly a year after Oliver and the dancers looked silly, overdoing it with goony looks on their faces. Oliver got it right a year earlier.
@@kevinswales7003 There was a song written for Sykes in the play, but the movie producers decided not to use it in the movie. The music, however, is used as a orchestral backdrop for Sykes as he's walking away from Nancy with his dog, Bullseye.
I recall seeing this when it opened. My parents took me. I had a major crush on Mark Lester (I was about 7.) Didn't appreciate the music then, but have loved it since. Great clip!
Your memory is right on, he did play "jimmy" in the tv show H.R. Puffnstuff, I had fun watching him in my teens, luv the puppet flute, who was his companion.
i lot of people knew of it back in the day. it was a huge hit in 1968 and won 6 academy awards including best picture. yes it's too bad that younger folks missed out on it. one of my favorite childhood memories
ahhhhh! the kid playin Dodger is so cute! so many memories! i have auditions 4 Oliver 2morrow and im totally not nervous!!! x :D :D it will be a blast!
Yes i seen this in the year 1973 on a papatotoe intermediate school treat, loved it, and years later i still watch this, i have the movie, bill sykes was my favourite charactor
@JuanMacready Oliver Reed got excellent reviews. He said he wouldn't have accepted the role unless he was offered it based on his acting skills rather than him being related to Carol Reed. I hardly ever see people who have a problem with Oliver Reed's acting.
I don't think anyone else could have played Sikes as well as Reed did. He portrayed the menace and threat convincingly,,,all the while being devilishly handsome and sexy😊😊
@@dalerussellsullivan9373 of all the Oliver's I've seen Oliver Reed wins. scared me as a kid when i first saw it and i really hated him after Nancy's death. smart move to scrap the 1 song that Syke's sang. makes Reed's performance more convincing.
I've just finished my school performance of this - i didn't get to be in this song but we all sung it at the end aww it was a laugh sad its over and Jack Wild is great at the part
i played the Artful Dodger when our school did this play loved every minute of it. Im a bit older now 25 to be exact love to do another Oliver play and id love to play the part of Fagan
omfg love this film to bits we're doing oliver at school an im audition for nancy on monday love the policemen! and oliver is soooooooo cute!!!!!!! and the choreography is wonderful thanx so much for posting XD .x.
When this come on I have to stop myself from singing and dancing to every song 😂😂 smh Whooo will buuy this wonder feeeling, I'm so hiigh I swear I could flyy 🎵
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 A lot of critics felt this was a rare occasion in which the film version was better than the stage version. Carol Reed and Onna White got great reviews, as well as Lionel Bart and most of the Cast.
@JuanMacready A lot of people don't have a problem with Mark Lester so I wouldn't consider it a huge mistake. And I think the movie was better off without those songs that were cut out because it brought more focus to the plot. Also, Bill Sykes wouldn't seam nearly as frightening if he was singing and dancing in the film.
i agree! director Carol Reed made such an improvement over the stage show by removing Bill Sykes's song and moving Oom Pah Pah to the climax with Nancy using it as a distraction to get Oliver out of the pub. one of the most suspenseful build ups i'd seen in a musical.
im only a kid not telling my age , but i was looking on prime and this film was on there so i was like cool ill watch this and literally i loooove it its my fav film rn
This is the best song from the film and the happiest as well and second longest at nearly 7 minutes Who will Buy is 8 minutes this just lifts you back up from the horrible and sad Where is Love that just makes you sad this makes you happy again

Man, Jack Wild was really good in this. The best dodger no doubt. He will be missed dearly.
I had a huge crush on him ever since I first saw this movie with my family
☺
I loved this movie The actors were amazing and wonderful to watch especially Jack Wild and the actor who played Oliver
his accent is very strong! usually accents dont show when singing. i love Dodger's voice
Jack did this song so well. A true child actor!
Pop
Not just my favorite musical, it's my favorite movie of all time
bro?
Mine to
And mine
It’s my favorite as well! Wish we all could get together as fans and watch it forever
Its a solid choice. I'd have it top ten for sure
40 years later and we have yet to produce anything as magical as this production was/is. remarkable!!! i was born in 1969 when this came out. what an amazing storyline and the best musical ever made.

Dear God, I'd forgotten how utterly brilliant this musical is! Magnificent!

This is such a brilliant film and brings back so many memories!
🌿
i realize Im kind of randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@Enzo David try FlixZone. Just google for it =)
@Julien Gerardo Yup, been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Julien Gerardo Thank you, I signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it !!
You can tell Mark Lester and Jack Wild formed a great friendship during the film. Can only imagine how heartbroken Lester was when Wild died.
One of my favorite songs from the musical.
I also love Where Is Love, It's a fine life, I'd do Anything and Oom Pah Pah
I went to London last year and this stuff still goes on, everyone just gets up and starts singing and dancing, it's crazy.
hopefully all the hookers aren't still getting murdered under London Bridge.
Nothing will ever beat these classics ever again

John Green? Related to the film's Oscar-winning conductor or just a coincidence?
i loved the joy of this song and the undercurrent of suspense during Oom Pah Pah.
i had never read Oliver Twist and was so hoping that Nancy's plan would work.

My mum and dad, and their families, came from London. I can't help but shed a tear. Such a wonderful film.
Never surpassed imho amazing choreography I can watch a thousand times over and music you or someone around will recall instantly 💯👍
The choregraphy by Onna White and her associate, Tom Panko, won a scecial Oscar.
what a wonderful film in 1968, It deserves everything.
I love this version of Oliver! It just isn't the same without Ron Moody, Jack Wild or Mark Lester.
Oliver reed aswell
Oliver reed aswell
But Oliver Reed had no song written for Bill Sykes.
I highly agree ❤️
@@kevinswales7003 There was a song written for Sykes in the play, but the movie producers decided not to use it in the movie. The music, however, is used as a orchestral backdrop for Sykes as he's walking away from Nancy with his dog, Bullseye.
What an absolute gem of a musical !!!
Wish they still made'em lyke that.
Coming up, the scene where Nancy sings "As Long As He Needs me" heartwrenching. 👄
Not a lick of divershity. Glorious.
this is by far one of the greatest musicals of all time !! reminds me of my childhood.
beautiful. thanks for posting.
I really love the continuity of this musical number. The best!
I recall seeing this when it opened. My parents took me. I had a major crush on Mark Lester (I was about 7.) Didn't appreciate the music then, but have loved it since. Great clip!
I was five when this film was made in 1968, was in awe of it then when I first saw it and still am.
I'm about the same age. Still gives me goosebumps!
He is a really good actor! When you see him in the interview on youtube he looks down in the dumps and quite, wheas here is lively and happy.
Your memory is right on, he did play "jimmy" in the tv show H.R. Puffnstuff, I had fun watching him in my teens, luv the puppet flute, who was his companion.
Besides me and someone else, everyone else commented from 2010-2011 at the least. That’s insane!
omg ur right
That's so sad!
hi :p
you wonder if they are still alive...technology
It brings back lots of memories of when we had the production at primary school!
This is peach. Love it. Oli was awesome as Sykes.
What a spectacle! Have always loved this scene.
He was great and will always be remembered for this!
Just an amazing film, and killer music. Bravo!
Beautiful voice from this kid, amazing!
Its sad that not a lot of people know of thus movie.
It was such a fun watch back then as a kid even up to now as a young adult.
i lot of people knew of it back in the day. it was a huge hit in 1968 and won 6 academy awards including best picture. yes it's too bad that younger folks missed out on it. one of my favorite childhood memories
omg, jack was just the most adorable thing ever.
Many members of the Ministry of Funny Walks were in attendance :D
The best song from the greatest musical ever made. Absolutely love it! Cheers me up no end. Thanks for posting!
I'm American but still love this song, one of my favorites.
I love this song one of the best out of the movie
rest in peace jack wild
jack wilde is so cute in this movie! plus i love his voice
I remember this! I havn't heard it in so long! Thanks for putting this up (and with subtitles).
this is my all time fav movie/musical..
Love the orchestra. They sound like real pros!
We all agree this musical is one of the best. I've never seen a video on UA-cam with zero thumbs down. It's confirmation that this clip is amazing 😍
Classic :) don't think this will ever get old for me
ahhhhh! the kid playin Dodger is so cute!
so many memories! i have auditions 4 Oliver 2morrow and im totally not nervous!!! x :D :D it will be a blast!
All these years later, how did it go?
@@quietside3734 damn man they’re probably married with kids now, life hits fast
@Aykam Gill he died in 2006 actually.
Artful Dodger is brilliant! So we'll cast. This film still stands today 😁
the best oliver movie... oliver is so cute, all the characters were brilliant too!
A fantastic musical and hard to believe that Jack Wild was not a Londoner like myself. I believe he was Manchester born.
I am from the USA and I love this song and this musical.
Love Jack Wild. He is so totally amazing!
i'm singing this for the callbacks at school(: even though i'm a girl, i still think he would be a fun part to play. (y)
When our school did it, Dodger was played by a girl 👍🏻
This film is so ingrained in my psyche … I watched it over and over as a kid. I really thought I was Nancy lol.
Best regards🥰🎁🎄 best🎬 considerably!!!Down to Earth!!!👌

Yes i seen this in the year 1973 on a papatotoe intermediate school treat, loved it, and years later i still watch this, i have the movie, bill sykes was my favourite charactor

I Love this song :D watched just this musical in london :=)
this is the best i love oliver twist!
i love this part! it's so playful and it's such a wonderful song:)
best song performance to the whole film. i always thought jack wild sounded like stacy slater from eastenders. maybe because it was set in east end.
Lol,,you are right, he does sound like Stacy Slater🤣😂
this is my fav musical of all time i have it on VHS.. i need it on DVD
I first saw this film more than ten years ago when i was 11 and im still charmed everytime i see this movie on HBO
Great film , Best Musical ever. Jack Wilds southern accent was brilliant considering he was from North of England.
It’s a Masterpiece
The cutest little pickpocket ever.
I've just finished my school performance of this - i didn't get to be in this song but we all sung it at the end aww it was a laugh sad its over and Jack Wild is great at the part
i played the Artful Dodger when our school did this play loved every minute of it. Im a bit older now 25 to be exact love to do another Oliver play and id love to play the part of Fagan
The original and the best- love love love dodger! greatest musical of all time!

What a superb movie!!!
this scene makes me wanna get up and dance, especially from 5:39. this films stands it's test of time
omg we watched this in school me and my friends all sing this like all the time
@JuanMacready A lot of critics felt this was a rare occasion in which the film version was better than the stage version. Carol Reed and Onna White got great reviews, as well as Lionel Bart and most of the Cast.
This is my favourite song throughout the whole musical! :)
And is it just me, or does Dodger have that look that makes people's heats melt? :)
i looked this up cuz im playing dodger in a play next week and it helped, this movie is great!
oh so great. love the little dance at :20-:22.
@JuanMacready A lot of people don't have a problem with Mark Lester so I wouldn't consider it a huge mistake. And I think the movie was better off without those songs that were cut out because it brought more focus to the plot.

41 people have clearly not been considered part of the family.
Love this movie, I still remeber the first time I saw it =]
I always loved this song.
This is the best song from the film and the happiest as well and second longest at nearly 7 minutes Who will Buy is 8 minutes this just lifts you back up from the horrible and sad Where is Love that just makes you sad this makes you happy again
Man, when they made music videos in the 1800s they didn’t screw around. Incredible
the very best musical ever made in my opinion !!!!
