5 stars***** Rarely do I come across a movie where I can’t find a fault. ‘Silence of the Lambs’ was one with Jodie Foster’s ‘The Accused’ another. In musical terms Lionel Bart’s ‘Oliver’ is a perfect mix of songs, dance and action. The plot was great and the characters were spectacularly acted. Now we have [...]
