Subject: RE: BS: Seen any good movies lately?
We watched our favourite film on Christmas Day - 'Oliver' the musical, with Ron Moody as Fagin. (We have the video). It always makes us laugh, but it is also very sad at times, for instance when the little Oliver sings 'Where is love?'. I think we're word perfect with the script. Our favourite moment is at the very end, when the Artful Dodger hands Fagin a wallet he's stolen, and Fagin asks, "Lined?" Brilliant film, with humour, pathos, excellent choreography, great songs and an insight into life in Victorian London.
Husband actually took our video over to his family in Africa and showed it to them on their TV. They could hardly believe how the orphans suffered in the Workhouse.
