Additional InformationTony Richardson's rousing adaptation of Fielding's classic comic novel, a sharp change of pace for a director of choleric contemporary fare, stars Albert Finney as the eponymous swordsman. A foundling whose mother is thought to be a housemaid (Joyce Redman), he's raised by her employer, the aptly named Squire Allworthy (George Devine). He grows up to be a lively young man, loved by all except Allworthy's legitimate heir, the dour, envious Blifil (David Warner). Although Tom is in love with Sophie Western (Susannah York), his unusual susceptibility to the sight of a pretty foot leads him into a dalliance with the accommodating Molly Seagrim (Diane Cilento). Despite this lapse, Sophie still rejects the efforts of her father (Hugh Griffith) and Allworthy to arrange a marriage with Blifil because of her love for Tom. Thus, Allworthy feels obliged to send the lad away, which only briefly dampens Tom's spirits, since he's soon at a country inn, engaging in a famously libidinous eating scene with a woman met en route, who may or may not be a relative. Perhaps the director's finest two hours, despite its enormous critical and commercial success he considered it a failure. While its excellent cast, lively score, and unusually realistic art direction deserve praise, it's likely that Richardson saved the film in the editing room, emphasizing the farcical elements of the story with rapid intercutting, and adding amusingly ironic voice-over narration, ending up with one of the most entertaining costume dramas ever put on celluloid.

A great entertaining movie
I thought that the atmosphere created by this movie was spot on. I almost felt I was actually there in the 18th century...the deer hunting scene, for example... all those horse riders, galloping at full speed, and fox hounds hungrily in pursuit of their prey. Newgate prison - such a desperate, filthy place to be incarcerated in. The scene where Tom was hanged by the neck ... and then dramatically rescued at the very last moment...nail-biting stuff for sure! And all those spectators (played by the extras in the movie) as they eagerly watched and waited expectantly for the condemned to be hanged from the gallows...what a spectacle! All these characters, especially the ones played by the main actors, made it all seem so real. I'll definitely be watching this movie again sometime!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Tom Jones (1963) MGM 24371DVD
Historically important of course (Oscar, Bafta, Golden Globe for best film of 1963). Some aspects seem a little clunky these days, e.g. use of under cranking to speed up the action, but overall very entertaining and the hunt scene is spectacular by any standards.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
