The CinePearl Take

Oliver! is a classic-era English film that blends drama, musical and crime — expect human relationships at the centre of the story and songs woven into the storytelling. Carol Reed directs and the script comes from Vernon Harris and Lionel Bart. With 17 credited cast members, it has a wide, ensemble feel. Made in United Kingdom, it is a natural pick for anyone exploring English-language films. Released in 1968, it has had time to build an audience and word of mouth. At 146 minutes, it asks for a proper sit-down.
