Product Information
Tony Richardson's rousing adaptation of Henry Fielding's classic comic novel stars Albert Finney as the eponymous swordsman. TOM JONES achieved enormous critical and commercial success, benefiting from an excellent cast, lively score, and unusually realistic art direction. While the film surely deserves this praise, Richardson initially considered it a failure, and it's likely that he saved the film in the editing room, emphasizing the farcical elements of the story with rapid intercutting, and adding amusingly ironic voice-over narration. The end product is one of the most entertaining costume dramas ever put on celluloid.Tom Jones is raised by Squire Allworthy (George Devine), his mother's (Joyce Redman) aptly named employer. He grows up to be a lively young man, loved by all except Allworthy's legitimate heir--the dour, envious Blifil (David Warner)--to whom Tom's true love Sophie Western (Susannah York) is promised in marriage. Allworthy feels obliged to send Tom away for Blifil's sake, which only briefly dampens Tom's mood. Soon, he's engaging in a famously libidinous eating scene with a woman met en route, carrying on with his ever-entertaining high spirits. An inspired piece of cinematic comedy, TOM JONES is most memorable for Finney's performance, which keeps viewers laughing long after the film's end.Product Identifiers

Wonderful romp through 17th century England
An MGM classic. Beautiful sets and costumes and a very entertaining and humorous story performed by a stellar cast. Albert Finney is at his youthful best. Saw it on the big screen years ago and it's just as engaging now as it was then. Greatness never grows old! This is a must for every movie buff's collection.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Tom Jones At Last
This film is one of the greatest stores Tony Richardson ever did. It took me 5 years to find an original, and was well worth the wait and expense. Anyone who has researched England in that period will see Great Character Development and Presentation. Living Conditions Depicted, and how Bawdy Life could be with the Upper Middle Crust. The Rapier wit between Hugh Griffith, and Dame Edith Evans, (Squire Weston and his Sister), And the never to be forgotten Scenes of Jenny and Tom having supper at the Inn, are Raucous. Do yourself a favor and at least see this film. And if you are a collector, grab it while it is still available.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

THE best
Tom Jones is my all-time favorite movie! and now that I have my own DVD I'm going to have a series of Soup-and-Sandwich-and-a-Movie parties! until all my friends have seen it; the invitation will read "If you've seen it - it's time to see it again……if you haven't - it's a MUST!" (Joyce Redman was a good friend of mine (she's the eating scene star!!)Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
