	Oliver Reed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oliver Reed (February 13, 1938 – May 2, 1999) was an English actor known for his macho image on and off screen.
		Reed's drinking bouts fitted in with the "social" attitude of many rugby teams in the sixties and seventies, and there are numerous anecdotes such as Reed and 36 friends drinking, in an evening, 60 gallons of beer, 32 bottles of Scotch, 17 bottles of gin, four crates of wine and one bottle of Babycham.
		Reed was often irritated that his appearances on TV chat shows concentrated on his drinking feats, rather than his latest film.

	Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for Oliver Reed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Reed's childhood was one he openly acknowledged as isolatory, raised between divorced parents who ignored one another, as well as Reed himself, who was sent as soon as feasible to boarding schools.
		Reed came dangerously close to being typecast as a man-beast both on and off screen, his string of Hammer horror films casting him as sociopaths and fiends as in "These Are The Damned" to literal monsters.
		Reed could boast credit for the first full-frontal male nudity in a feature film for his revealing role in the critically acclaimed "Women in Love" and wreak laughter as the alternately storming and simpering "God Vulcan" in Terry Gilliam's 1989 hit "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".

	Gentle Oliver Reed (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		LONDON -- Oliver Reed was best known as a hell-raising actor, enthusiastic imbiber and lover of beautiful women f but a recently unearthed 20-year-old recording shows a kinder, gentler side.
		Reed, who died at 61 in Malta last year while filming "Gladiator," once lent his resonant voice to a poem adapted from a traditional piece of advice on raising children responsibly.
		The recording was made in London when Reed was performing in a rock opera called "The Ancient Mariner" that was based on the classic poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

	Oliver! 1968
		Reed was not straitened by the requirements of the star system and his carefully selected players, many of them veterans of the stage production, are perfectly matched with their roles.
		Since Reed had an extensive background as an interpreter of children's problems, it is less surprising that he handled the children in the show as well as Fagin.
		His dramatic sense always attuned to complements, Reed shapes this performance as a foil for Jack Dawkins, the Artful Dodger (Jack Wild), a wised-up street kid whose premature shrewdness is contrasted with Oliver's innocence and expressed in the Dodger's polished performing skills as well as his acting.

		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.
		Reed gives us the seedy Underworld of London (with shadows as long and cobblestones as rough as the Vienna of his "The Third Man").
		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.

	Oliver Reed Biography
		Reed's first starring role was as the werewolf in Terence Fishers The Curse of the Werewolf (1961).

		Reed was one of Richard Lester's musketeers in The Three Musketeers (1974) and The Four Musketeers (1975).

	At-A-Glance Film Reviews: Oliver! (1968)
		Oliver Reed makes one of the most chilling screen villains of all time out of his performance as Bill Sikes.
		(Fagin's hideout is as slipshod and grimy as he is.) The harshness and poignancy of Oliver's troubles, and the sweetness and relief of the end of his quest for love are starkly vivid.
		Later on, Sikes makes Oliver help him with a burglary; there again, an ingenious use of silence and noise builds the tension up to the hilt.

		Workhouse orphan Oliver Twist runs away from working at an undertakers to London.
		There he meets up with the wily Artful Dodger who takes him to thief and fence Fagin, who is in charge of a gang of young pickpockets.
		The slums and streets of London are a little too picture-book to be convincing, but the essential theatricality of this musical mean that the exuberance and brightness of the sets seems entirely in keeping with the spirit of the original stage-show.

	DVD.net : Oliver! - DVD Review
		The story is based around an orphan boy named Oliver (really, we wouldn't have guessed!) who works in a workhouse.
		Young Oliver escapes and makes it to the big smoke, where, sadly, the first person he meets is Jack Dawkins.
		This is a fairly brief introduction to the story, but with this genre of film there is no introductory idea, just a continous flow of events.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Oliver! -- Carol Reed - DVD - Wide Screen
		Lester is simultaneously mischievous and angelic as Oliver; Wild invests the Dodger with a self-assuredness far beyond his years; Moody portrays Fagin without the malignance usually associated with that character; and Oliver Reed plays Bill Sykes with all the menacing ferocity one expects of that unregenerate evildoer.
		Reed’s adroit handling of Vernon Harris’s screenplay doesn’t miss a beat.
		Once 9-year-old orphan Oliver Twist (Mark Lester) falls in with such underworld types as pickpocket Fagin (Ron Moody) and murderous thief Bill Sykes (Oliver Reed), it becomes necessary to inject more and more dialogue, and the film loses some of its momentum.
