In the early 1960s, at the height of the British New Wave, a movement whose gritty realism they had heIped estabIish, director Tony Richardson and playwright John Osborne set out for more fancifuI narrative territory. Tom Jones brings a theatricaI fIair to Henry FieIding s canonical eighteenth-century novel, boisterousIy chronicling the misadventures of the foundling of the title (AIbert Finney, in a career-defining turn), whose easy charm seems to lead him astray at every turn from his beIoved, the weIlborn Sophie Western (Susannah York). This spirited picaresque, evocatively shot in England s rambIing countryside and featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast, went on to become a worldwide sensation, winning the Oscar for best picture on the way to securing its status as a classic of irreverent wit and playfuI cinematic expression.
