Oliver | Consider Yourself - Full Song | Indoor Recess

Oliver encounters the Artful Dodger on the streets of London and he offers him a place to stay in this iconic musical number "Consider Yourself".

Experience the high-spirited adventures of Oliver Twist in this Oscar®-winning musical adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic tale! Young Oliver (Mark Lester) is an orphan who escapes the cheerless life of the workhouse and takes to the streets of 19th-Century London. He's immediately taken in by a band of street urchins, headed by the lovable villain, Fagin (Ron Moody), his fiendish henchman, Bill Sikes (Oliver Reed), and his loyal apprentice, The Artful Dodger (Jack Wild). Through his education in the fine points of pick-pocketing, Oliver makes away with an unexpected treasure... a home and a family of his own. Set to a heartfelt score that includes such favorites as "Consider Yourself," "Where Is Love?" and "As Long As He Needs Me," OLIVER! leads us on a journey in search of love, belonging and honor among thieves. Winner of six Academy Awards® (1968), including Best Picture and Best Score, OLIVER! will steal your heart!

Oliver | Consider Yourself - Full Song | Indoor Recess

[LilyGrace]

And to think, this entire number was done on a sound stage. It's almost unbelievable...

[sylvainbrosseau]

Fabulous! I can't stop thinking the amount of crowd control and hours of practice putting this whole choreography together. Amazing yet perfect. And what originality.

[mrsTraveller]

I LOVED the movie, saw it 1975 in London with my mom❤and sister!

[FishpondsLady]

I always thought Jack Wild and Ron Moody were robbed. If anyone deserved an Oscar it was those two.

[songsmitha]

Brilliant directing, staging and realisation. Top stuff!

[robnewman]

Some of the key parts in the film are children.
Ron Moody had a feeling that, the story of Oliver Twist belongs to them.

[Simwil]

The production of this is clearly what inspired every sperm is sacred by Monty Python

[robnewman]

In the top left corner of the scene, when coming towards the end of this song, there's an Inn swing Sign picture of Admiral Horatio Nelson.

Here comes the London Metropolitan Policemen Peelers.

Law & Order in town.

Fun Theory London Cops don’t carry guns according to Robin Williams because I never been to London England or anywhere in The United Kingdom I am From New Jersey American and yes Oliver! 1968 was a great film and Oliver! 1968 The Wizard of Oz 1939 and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory 1971 are great movies to show kids when they are young.

[rstein]

Fun fact: Jack Wylde & Mark Lester wern't really acting in this song.

Jack who also played Dodger in the original musical stage version was actually showing Mark Lester the ropes & Mark Lester simply learnt under his wing. The director Carl Reed kept it in feeling this made the Dodger more of a shifty and non trustworthy character.

Films like this are like the pyramids of Egypt in today’s world of poor cultural production. The acting, directing, singing and music are unreal

[robnewman]

Here's a History Information Fact for you to know.

A Major-Problem at the Time during the Victorian Era (1837-1901) was Drunkenness!
Amongst the people of the public & the Police themselves.
Many of the original Peelers were dismissed within ten years for being drunk on duty.
As well as arresting drunks, the Constables had to cope with all manner of public duties, including Fighting Fires, Breaking up fights, Petty Felony, as well as Serious Crime.
The new police tended to be Thief Catchers, not Detectives.

If These butchers rolled their meat on the ground how can they still be using them and chopping them up to sell them to people.?


Also how this whole thing played out reminds me how I'm writing this titanic story about 10-year-old cousins with sail on the ship and Survived the nightmare of the shipwreck with their own courage and witts and their broken friendship but with the help of all those people who drown and the sinking of the Titanic brings the two cousins relationship more closer and helps them reconcile.
