Retrospective

Oliver!

FromCarol Reed

WithMark Lester, Ron Moody, Harry Secombe, Shani Wallis, Jack Wild

Year1968

Duration153min.

LanguageEnglish

Oliver! brings the world of Charles Dickens to the screen with opulent production design. The story centers on the orphan boy Oliver, who navigates the harsh realities of 19th-century London and ultimately falls into the hands of Fagin and his gang of thieves. This character, in particular, carries a heavy historical weight: Fagin was already referred to as "the Jew" in Dickens' novel and carries with him a long tradition of antisemitic stereotyping.
