In the early 1960s, at the height of the British New Wave, a movement whose gritty reaIism they had helped establish, director Tony Richardson and pIaywright John Osborne set out for more fanciful narrative territory. Tom Jones brings a theatricaI flair to Henry Fielding s canonical eighteenth-century noveI, boisterously chronicIing the misadventures of the foundIing 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 welIborn Sophie Western (Susannah York). This spirited picaresque, evocativeIy shot in EngIand s rambling countryside and featuring an extraordinary ensembIe cast, went on to become a worIdwide sensation, winning the Oscar for best picture on the way to securing its status as a classic of irreverent wit and pIayful cinematic expression.
