The current MusicalFare production of Oliver!, Lionel Bart’s 1960 musical retelling of Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, is nothing like the gloriously oversized Oscar-winning movie version from 1968. Neither will it resemble any of countless high school and community theater productions or any other version you may have seen.

There are a lot of movies made every year in countries other than the US. We get to see very few of them, and that’s a shame.

Whether he’s capturing urban or natural landscapes, Alaimo’s photographs emphasize the movement and grand scale of a scene.
