Britmovie - Oliver! Sikes is partnered with an admirable Nancy, Shani Wallis, who is as good in her ballads as in her up-tempo numbers. In a happy moment of nepotism, Reed's nephew, Oliver Reed, was cast as Bill Sikes, and the younger Reed gave his uncle exactly the right degree of slouching, scowling villainy. Although the novel achieves a weight and power that is, of course, missing from Oliver!, the maudlin melodrama that runs through the centre of the work is vastly more palatable in Reed's stylised interpretation. www.britmovie.co.uk /directors/c_reed/filmography/031.html   (14216 words)

Shani Willis costars as Sikes' girlfriend, Nancy, who thwarts the kidnapping plot and pays for her betrayal with her life.

(Widescreen) 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. He plays a passable Oliver, but lacks the oomph that the others bring to their roles, and his voice is somewhat airy but sweet (according to other reviewers, too sweet).

:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Oliver! (xhtml) Reed does; he establishes Oliver as a bright attractive young boy: gives him some scenes so we get to care about him and admire his pluck; and then focuses his movie on the characters who are REALLY interesting: Fagin, Bill Sikes, the Artful Dodger and Nancy. But the film is strong in casting, and we get a villainous Bill Sikes from Oliver Reed and an unctuous Bumble from Harry Secombe; and Shari Wallis, as Nancy, makes us believe in her difficult, complicated character. Reed gives us the seedy Underworld of London (with shadows as long and cobblestones as rough as the Vienna of his "The Third Man"). rogerebert.suntimes.com /apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19681222/REVIEWS/812220301/1023   (685 words)
