The Livingston Film Series is delighted to present a free presentation of the 1968 version of Oliver! The film screens on Thursday, October 10th at 7pm.
Sir Carol Reed’s Oliver! is a treasure of a movie. It is very nearly universal entertainment, one of those rare films like Wizard of Oz that appeals in many ways to all sorts of people. It will be immediately exciting to the children because of the story and the unforgettable Dickens characters. Adults will like it for the sweep and zest of its production.
“Not for a moment did Reed imagine he had to talk down to the children in his audience. Not for a moment are the children in the cast treated as children. The are equal participants in the great adventure, and they have to fend for themselves or bloody well get out of the way. This isn’t a watered-down lollypop. It’s got bite and malice along with the romance and humor.” – Roger Ebert
The film screening precedes the Shane’s stage production of Oliver!, with performances set for October 18th through November 10th. Visit the host website for additional details.
This free film presentation takes place on Oct. 10th at 7pm. Doors open 30 minutes prior to showtime. The Dulcie Theatre and lobby are equipped with a UV air filtration system. Learn more at www.theshanecenter.org.
