Winner of four Academy Awards including Best Picture, and featuring a cast of superb actors headed by the young Albert Finney and Susannah York, Tony Richardson's wickedly funny adaptation of Henry Fielding's novel (scripted by John Osbourne) is a rollicking, picaresque period comedy to savour. No one has ever lived so freely and carelessly as Tom Jones (Finney). Abandoned at birth and raised by a wealthy squire (Hugh Griffith), Tom romps through English society, leading a lusty life of brawling and bed-hopping... until his bawdy behaviour causes him to be sent away from his family, his home and the only woman he's ever truly loved (York). But some men never learn, and soon Tom's escapades land him in the company of reckless scoundrels, the boudoirs of more women... and, finally, in jail. Will Tom's charm save him... or will the gallows be his last swing?
