I think this character was one of my earliest childhood heroes. I was mesmerised by how beautiful and charismatic Nancy was, I wanted to be just like her. Back then I didn't really understand that she lived in poverty and misery and her dress was torn, when I always thought it was a really fine gown. When I got older and realised she became even more of an inspiration. Fabulous performance, wonderful character.

Oliver Reed WAS Bill Sikes!

"you can always cover one until he blacks the other one but you don't dare cry". Such a tragic lyric and a window into what many women's lives were/are.

This is one of the most touching AND depressing songs. She sings about a huge list of problems, thinks wistfully on all the things she'll never have (money, security, a future, respect, a husband or even a boyfriend who actually loves her)... but if you forget all that, then everything's just fine!

This is a song about total denial of her abused condition. I read the novel, "Oliver Twist" and this song very well captures the essence of how Nancy felt about her circumstances. She's an abused woman in an extremely toxic relationship with one of the most horrible human beings in 1830s London. She knows other people have better lives, but she's content with her's and this leads to her tragic fate.

The fact he isn’t giving any attention to his own wife, or any of the others in the tavern, really shows that he doesn’t give a shit, and cements his hateful personality, not to mention how Oliver Reed was straight up amazing as him, when reading the original Oliver Twist book, he was exactly what I imagined.

ONE OF MY FAVIORTE SONGS IN THE MUSICAL

"Dont have to sin to eat" Oh Nancy, the loveliest and most tragic character. I don't think any other cast could be as perfect as Shani Wallis, Ron Moody and Oliver Reed. Oliver Reed has that brutal masculinity that is quite rare to see now - strikes fear with a glare. Shani Wallis portrays Nancy as having that rough round the edges but fundamentally feminine and gentle quality, being strong for the situation she's in. Nancy is a wonderful character to highlight how horrible sex work is - how it doesn't matter if the person you have paid or you're watching online is smiling - they could full well be a Nancy stuck in poverty, bought up in abuse and down trodden by society - and deserving oh so much more! Nancy gives her all in the end to prove that.

Hilarious how Nancy serves and, along with the whole bar, sings for Bill, he just sits there and hardly pays any attention to them XD

That's the whole premise. She's in a volatile, abusive and violent relationship with a man who doesn't appreciate, or indeed, barely notices her. Even though she says to Bill "You love me, don't you?" and he replies "Well of course I do, I live with you don't I?", it shows that she doesn't really believe him. Especially as he is basically her pimp with being a prostitute who also pickpockets and thieves items for him to fence. The saddest part of Nancy's story is that it is relatable, even today.

@@alking7655 Actually Nancy was NOT a prostitute in the modern sense of the word. She did not sleep with men for money. During Dickens' time, the word prostitute did not mean "whore" or "hooker". Prostitute meant a woman who was living out of wedlock and not part of respectable society. Read this quote: ​ "As well as Nancy being a thief, a common misapprehension is that she is a prostitute, in the modern sense of the word. At no point is this stated in the novel; rather it stems from Dickens describing her as such in his preface to the 1841 edition ("the boys are pickpockets, and the girl is a prostitute"). However, it has been convincingly argued that he is invoking the term's then synonymous usage referring to a woman living out of wedlock or otherwise on the margins of "respectable" society."

Bill sykes has always reminded me off my dad! X

This my all time Favorite Movie...

ever since I saw this movie for the first time with my family 30 years ago (I was 7 years old then) I always admired Nancy's personality. in spite of how young I was I loved her character. she must not have had an easy life. like Oliver she probably never had the love of a mother or father or a loving home. I suspect she was abused by Bill Sykes and she probably grew up with Fagan and his gang. but she was always very content with life. I wish that things could have ended up more happier for her. I always thought that if Nancy had come out of this thing alive Oliver's great uncle would have considered taking Nancy into his home and give her a new life. she could have helped Oliver's great uncle and his housekeeper raise Oliver.

Shani Wallis did a great job as Nancy. Thank you for uploading this song

Love how he just taps the guy at the beginning without having to say a word to basically say "fucking move"

My third favourite Nancy song very cheerful

Lyrics: Small pleasures, small pleasures Who would deny us these? (Not me) Gin toddies, large measuress No skimpin' if you please I rough it I love it Life is a game of chance I never tire of it Leading this merry dance If you don't mind having to go without things It's a fine life (fine life) Tho' it ain't all jolly old pleasure outings It's a fine life (fine life) When you got someone to love You'd forget your cares and strife Let the prudes look down on us Let the wide world frown on us It's a fine fine life Who cares if straightlaces sneer at us in the street? A fine air and fine grace don't have to sin to eat We wander through London Who knows what we many find? There's pockets left undone On many a behind If you don't mind taking it as it turns out It's a fine life (fine life) Keep the candle burning until it burns out It's a fine life (fine life) Though you sometimes do come by The occasional black eye You can always cover one While he blacks the other one But you don't dare cry No flounces, no feathers No frills and furbelows All winds and all weathers Ain't good for fancy clo'es Ah, these trappings These ta'ers These we can just afford What future? What ma'ers? We've got our bed and board If you don't mind having to deal with fagin It's a fine life (fine life) Although diseased rats threaten to bring the plague in It's a fine life (fine life) But the grass is green and dense On the right side of the 'fence' And we take good care of it That we get our share of it And we don't mean pence If you don't mind having to like or lump it It's a fine life (fine life) Althought there's no tea-supping and eating crumpet It's a fine life (fine life) Not for me The happy home Happy husband Happy wife Tho' it sometimes touches me For the likes of such as me Mine's a fine fine life!

I never thought much about this when I was a kid what's now that I am a lot older I realize that Nancy's philosophy is just like mine. my life can be tough sometimes but I always have a positive attitude but things will go right in the end.

Would love to find out who all the other singers/actors in this excellent scene.i saw that as a 10 yr old and loved it ever since. A relative worked on it in 1967..was responsible for building the sets and scene set up.

my school is doing a production of oliver and im Mrs Sowerberry (the undertakers wife) and Bet (Nancy's best friend)

I fell in love with Nancy's character the first time I saw this movie.

Took 6 classes to watch this damn movie! (I watched it in music class) IT WAS SOO WORTH THE 6 CLASSES! When I first saw dodger in the beginning, I was just like, WOW! This is a great movie, the beginning wasn't that great, when dodger came in it started to get good. And I LOVED the song "consider youself"

some people might call Nancy "a complicated character." and not be able to sympathize with her situation very well. after all, she was responsible for dragging Oliver back to fagins and was loyal to Bill Sykes until her sad ending. however ever since I was a kid, I knew she did not have much choice. I always wondered about Nancy's life story: perhaps like Oliver she grew up without a father or mother and had lived a life of poverty for years.

It’s strange how strangers like Nancy more then her own boyfriend

She is annoying.

I really love this song.

Newgate Prison was a prison at the corner of Newgate Street and Old Bailey Street just inside the City of London, England, originally at the site of Newgate, a gate in the Roman London Wall. Built in the 12th century and demolished in 1904, the prison was extended and rebuilt many times, and remained in use for over 700 years, from 1188 to 1902.

When you're alone and you're in lockdown it's a fine, fine life
