Movie Reviews of This is Tom Jones
Movie Review: Given as a gift - this was a hit!
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave this as a gift to my Mom for Mother's Day and she loves it. We all had fun watching this blast from the past and what a treat to see the Moody Blues and The Who young again! When the shows first ran back in the late 60's I thought Tom Jones was an old guy, he was only 28 years old!Movie Review: Tom Jones and Tina Turner
Summary: 4 Stars
I have a friend who has seen alot of the Tom Jones shows that were on TV and he said that TINA was a guest on one of them.Does anyone know which one it is and if it is avaliable for purchase?I can be reached at tootallnsavga@aol.com if anyone knows.Thanks...Movie Review: Great Shows
Summary: 4 Stars
Nostalgic look back at a really fine singer and some surprising guests - Janis Joplin, the Who. The comedy skits are okay, but the music is excellent.Movie Review: Nice job, but the shows are incomplete
Summary: 3 Stars
I got my set from Time-Life ahead of street date. The transfer quality is quite good (the episode with the Who is in black & white--Tom Jones in his intro to the episode says that they don't have a color version of the episode). However, none of the episodes are complete. The initial episode is 38 minutes is the longest of what is on this set. (A 60 minute show in the late 1960's ran approx 47-50 minutes plus commercials) Some of the shows run as short as 20 minutes, which means over half of those episodes are missing footage. (One of the episodes has Glen Campbell's performance absent.) I do enjoy the Tom Jones performanes as well as many of the other musical performances (& it is a delight to see rare footage of Janis Joplin and Crosby Stills Nash & Young), but I would prefer to see the episodes in their entirety. Let's hope future volumes will have complete episodes. Extras include Tom Jones intros, 2 interviews with Jones (from 1969 & a current one), and an ABC promo from 1969 of "new Friday Night shows" (besides Tom Jones, the other two shows were a night-time version of Let's Make A Deal and a game show called The Generation Gap which lasted all of 3 months).Movie Review: Worth the money? Sure.
Summary: 3 Stars
I don't know if Tom Jones or anyone from his camp ever read feedback posted on Amazon but I direct this question to him as he is listed as Executive Producer: What gives? Are the missing segments too damaged to include, missing in action or were they destroyed at some time? If that's the case, well, ok then. Let the buyer know. I'm not a big fan of "best of" compilations as I don't always agree with the compliers view. So, the prospect of having entire episodes released on DVD was very exciting to me. These DVD's shouldn't be marketed with the "aired on" subtitle as that implies it's the whole show as originally aired with complete content. Such a shame, so much good music is missing.
Worth the money? Sure. Will I buy any follow-up releases? Probably, but with diminished anticipation.
