Movie Reviews of Tom Jones
Movie Review: Brilliant; too bawdy when first released
Summary: 5 Stars
The brilliant John Osbourne took Henry Fielding's massive novel, and, with director Tony Richardson, developed a totally coherent, riotous film, rife with period detail and sparkled with double-entendre. I can't say much about the film, except to say it's among my favorite films of all time. The acting from all involved is impeccable. Indeed, Albert Finney became a world-class contender after this film. Religious groups were outraged (most probably didn't even see it), though there was lots of suggested sex scenes, amounting to some non-graphic tumbling under the sheets, and a dinner scene that has been parodied subsequently many times. The fast pace and thoroughly enjoyable episodic narrative never fail to entertain, and one is left breathless by the time it's over. Oscar winner for Picture, Director, Screenplay and John Addison's perfect baroque score, nominated for 5 acting awards, as well as Art Direction. Of the film versions of the great classics, this definitely must stand proudly at the top of the hill!Movie Review: A stunning and for ever young movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This film was a winner from its initial release . Sublime adaptation from Henry Fielding ' s novel , this story talks about the adventures of this man who loves the woman in superlative grade . Albert Finney made a role so credible loaded of charm and savoir vivre . His virtues are not exactly of the first order , but his defiant against the Status Q is told with nuance and very well gusto .
Tom Richardson made one of the top english movies in all the british cinema . An authentical ode to the joy . And Susan York is splendid too in this performance . Diane Cilento is simply amazing with her support role . Excelent transfer to DVD .
Please smile and let your senses talk by themselves .

Movie Review: Tom Jones movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
What a hoot. Saw this movie many years ago and was thrilled to receive it on dvd. As to the movie Albert Finney was at his best particularily with the female members of the cast. Susannah York played the love of his life beautifully against Joan Greenwoods seductress role. Dianne Celento in a co starring role was excellent. I suppose the most significant scene was the dinner scene with sexual undertones...this scene was worth purchassing the dvd alone. In the mature roles Hugh Griffith was at his best while Edith Evans played the Aunt with her usual flair.A perfectly cast movie which I highly recommend. Purchase and enjoy.Movie Review: Simplely Delightful

Call it one part Monty Python's Flying Circus, one part Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, with a dash of Benny Hill and you begin to see the rollicking good fun in store here. Played with stunning comic sensitivity and wit Albert Finney is adorable as the bawdy bastard Tom Jones. An unlikely canidate for its day Tom Jones managed to walk away with four Oscars, including Best Picture and deservedly so. For it's style and technique have been widely imitated by the likes of Woody Allen, Richard Lester and I dare say Stanley Kuberick's dark comedy Barry Lyndon owes a debt to the narrative style of this classic English comedy.
