Amazon.com essential video:
Winner of four Academy Awards including best picture, director, screenplay, and music, this 1963 adaptation of Henry Fielding's classic novel is a rousing, bawdy comedy about a young man's ribald adventures in 18th-century England. Albert Finney is splendidly hilarious in the title role of a charming womanizer who was discovered as an abandoned infant in the bed of Squire Allworthy, a wealthy landowner who named the child Tom Jones and raised him as his own. As a young man, Tom yearns for the comely daughter (Susannah York) of a neighboring squire, but his amorous adventures (including an extended food orgy that becomes the film's funniest scene) lead him to London and to a duel with a jealous husband. He's sentenced to hang, but fate intervenes. A hit around the world, the film was expertly written by noted playwright John Osborne, and director Tony Richardson uses a variety of old-style movie techniques to heighten the lusty, good-natured fun. Don't miss this one! --Jeff Shannon

This movie is such a great example of use of humor in a fictional biography. ("Little Big Man" would be another) Tom, played by Albert Finney starts his life under dire circumstances and goes from one predicament to another. We fear for his life many times. Most of the Action occurs in the 1700s and we get to see the traumas of people living with parasites, being arrested for minor offenses and punished without benefit of fair trial or representation. Raw sewage and garbage fill the streets. ... Read More

When you think that "Lawrence of Arabia" preceded this and "My Fair Lady" followed this it boggles the mind that something as terribly bad as this film could ever be mentioned in the same breath as those two brilliant all-time classics of film. I thought that "Gigi" was the worst film ever to win the Best Picture award until I saw this. Much of this film reminded me of the typical Benny Hill comedy and we all know just how "well" those jokes have aged over the years.
Not only is the ... Read More

Tom Jones is one of the greatest books in English literature- and still very fun to read. This movie captures the spirit (and the essentials of the story) perfectly. Of course, there is a great deal more detail in the book but the movie would have had to be ten times longer to capture that- of necessity screen adaptations have to pare down the story to essentials in order to fit a two to two and a half hour time frame. The result is often a movie that bares little resemblance to the original story. ... Read More

Oh well...it's just my opinion!
I found the movie,after all these years, not funny,trite,boring,but most of all not well researched as far as costumes and make up.This Period Piece about the foundling Tom Jones, and his "naughty" chasing of the ladies,is anything but that.As far as the look of the film,there is much that was overlooked in the production value of this film.The costumes were extremely dull and unimaginative.Some characters appear in the same get up in every scene. There was ... Read More
