OLIVER is a treat-and a sumptuous one -for everyone in the family. Dickens' reformist zeal has been eliminated, but a good score, handsome sets, wizardly direction (by Carol Reed) and sprightly performances are ample compensation...
...aspect of the struggle as their subject for the opening session, framing their points in tough and seemingly inflexible language. Speaking first, Tran Buu Kiem, chief delegate for the National Liberation Front and also its shadow foreign minister, demanded the creation of a "peace cabinet" in Saigon that would treat the Front as an equal.

Where he was the screaming, mincing Mr. Joyboy in The Loved One, and a coronation of closet queens in No Way to Treat a Lady, he is here appropriately disciplined as the doomed Sergeant Callan...
