Oliver! (1968) - 2 stars

One sentence plot summary: Runaway orphan finds a home amongst singing pickpockets.

Starring: Mark Lester, Ron Moody, Jack Wild, Shani Wallis, Oliver Reed

Best of: Ron Moody is a lot of fun as Fagin, king of the pickpockets.

Worst of: An oddly undeveloped title character.

Notable: The fourth musical to win Best Picture in the 60s, and the last (hallelujah!) until 2002's Chicago.
