LYCOS RETRIEVER 
Oliver Reed
built 655 days ago
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. If this Bill Sikes is less menacing than Robert Newton's in the David Lean version of Oliver Twist, it is surely attributable to the discrepancy between a straight drama and a musical. Sikes is partnered with an admirable Nancy, Shani Wallis, who is as good in her ballads as in her up-tempo numbers.
