Oliver Musical Review...

I have watched another movie for the Period Drama Challenge that is being held by Old-Fashioned Charm. This is my second review for this challenge. I watched the musical from 1968. It was a fantastic musical I thought. However, it did change quite a bit from the book, especially at end. Oliver, doesn't get a chance to meet some of his friends from the book, and a few players don't have as big of a role in the musical. It is a one that I think people will enjoy, if they don't mind musicals. I can see myself watching it again and again. The acting was really good. I still want to see another version that is closer to the book though.

Period Drama blogs.....

I love the BBC period dramas, and own several of the movies. I think this is mostly due to my love of history and the dresses. Most of the period dramas I have yet to actually read the books, although they are on my classic club list to read soon. I recently found the following blogs, and wanted to share:
Old-Fashioned Charm
Photobucket
Regency Delight ~Jane Austen, etc.~
Elegance of Fashion
