Oliver! (4K disc) 1968 musical about a young Orphan who is living a hard
knock life.  The plot involves a locket that reveals the truth about the
orphan's parentage.  By the end of the movie, after the orphan's life is
placed in danger by a criminal, the orphan winds up living the good life
with rich people.

I hate this musical. I dn't think I like any of the songs. It's one of
the earliest movies I recall attending in first run as a child. The
Scrooge in hell scene freaked me out.

I'm going brain dead. I'm thinking of Scrooge (1970). If we attended
Oliver! in 1968 in theater, I don't recall.
