Adapted from Dickens's classic novel, it's one of the most dramatically involving and artistically impressive musicals of the 1960s, directed by Carol Reed with a delightful enthusiasm that would surely have impressed Dickens himself. Mark Lester plays the waifish orphan Oliver Twist, who is befriended by the pickpocketing Artful Dodger (Jack Wild) and recruited into the gang of boy thieves led by Fagin (played to perfection by Ron Moody). The villainous Bill Sikes (Oliver Reed) casts his long shadow over Oliver and his friends, but the young orphan is still able to find loving care in the most desperate of circumstances. Full of memorable melodies and splendid lyrics, Oliver! is a timeless film, prompting even hard-to-please critic Pauline Kael to call it "a superb demonstration of intelligent craftsmanship," and to further observe that "it's as if the movie set out to be a tribute to Dickens and his melodramatic art as well as to tell the story of Oliver Twist." --Jeff Shannon ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Actors | Harry Secombe, Mark Lester, Oliver Reed, Ron Moody, Shani Wallis | | Asin | 076781326X | | Aspect Ratio | 2.35:1 | | Director | Carol Reed | | Dubbed | French | | Item Model Number | 043396021372 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 5.1), French (Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround), Spanish (Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo), Unqualified (DTS ES 6.1) | | Media Format | DVD | | Mpaa Rating | G (General Audience) | | Number Of Discs | 1 | | Producers | Donald Albery, John Woolf | | Product Dimensions | 7.5 x 5.38 x 0.6 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release Date | August 11, 1998 | | Run Time | 2 hours and 33 minutes | | Studio | Sony Pictures Home Entertainment | | Subtitles | English, French | ## Product Details - **Format:** DVD - **Genre:** Award Winning, Musical - **Language:** English, French - **Runtime:** 2 hours and 33 minutes ## Images ![Oliver! - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81C-BVscLKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great film, *by on Reviewed in the United States September 23, 2026* Cancelled order because mother had copy. Good film though! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Oliver *by on Reviewed in the United States September 16, 2026* A wonderful musical.Music and lyrics written by Lionel Bart. Based on a novel by Charles Dickens. Songs are catchy, upbeat and memorable.Once you start watching Oliver, you want to see to the end. Everyone should see this musical. I guarantee that you will enjoy it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Something Old, Something New *by on Reviewed in the United States May 12, 2006* "Oliver" is a remarkable achievement for a musical. Each scene expertly envelops the listener and viewer into a feast of a visual and audio masterpiece. For those who hate musicals or are at least less partial, the Dicken's story will quell some of the sentimentality associated with this genre. The rough atmosphere helps with some of the songs and invites those who would have a cursory interest to join in for the fun. The characters are engaging enough to begin with, but the performances are superb. Ron Moody's Fagin is masterful, especially that he can take a hardened character and make him seem likable. An emotional connection is easily made with every character: We like Dodger (Jack Wild), love Nancy, root for Oliver (Mark Lester), and sneer at Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed), a nuanced and menacing enemy.The technical achievements are also hallmark. It is no small thing that the camera angles are expertly framed for the wide view as well as for the intimate, closer shots. (Take a look at the first "Annie" movie and see if you don't agree.) The editing, too, is great, making the scenes unfold with grandeur and a timing that is as close to perfect as a musical movie gets. The songs are great, also, even if they sometimes linger too long, especially "As Long as He Needs Me," but at least it gives the audience a moment to pause and catch its collective breath. Some are sing-alongs, like one would expect at a lively pub, including "Oom Pah Pah," "Consider Yourself" and "It's a Fine Life". Then, there are songs with the grandeur of "Who Will Buy?" Variety is enhanced with other songs, like "Boy for Sale," which seems rooted in opera.This movie makes one believe it could be made today; it is so timeless. Yet, it draws so much from the old musicals and innovates with new elements, that it could only have been made in this place and time (England, 1968). It is hard to find anything (except maybe "The Sound of Music" or "An American in Paris") that matches the quality of this film. It is heart-warming, suspenseful, and engaging throughout. ## Frequently Bought Together - Oliver! - Fiddler On The Roof - My Fair Lady --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://monaco.desertcart.com/products/3840261-oliver](https://monaco.desertcart.com/products/3840261-oliver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Monaco* *Store origin: MC* *Last updated: 2026-11-07*
