Product Details
Double bill of musicals about lovable orphans.
'Oliver!' (1968) is a musical version of the classic Dickens tale. Young orphan
Oliver (Mark Lester) suffers under a harsh regime at the workhouse run by Mr
Bumble (Harry Secombe). He manages to escape, and, after meeting a friendly
pickpocket known as the Artful Dodger (Jack Wild), joins a gang of street
thieves operated by the disreputable Fagin (Ron Moody). Although happy with his
new friends, Oliver takes a dislike to Fagin's violent and aggressive colleague,
Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed).
In John Huston's 1981 screen version of the Broadway musical 'Annie' (based on
the long-running comic strip 'Little Orphan Annie'), Annie (Aileen Quinn) lives
a miserable life in an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan (Carol Burnett).
A chance of escape and happiness comes Annie's way when she meets billionaire
'Daddy' Warbucks (Albert Finney), but Hannigan and her colleagues are determined
to get the girl back.
