5.0 out of 5 starsNicely Naughty Vintage Fun
By Cowboy Buddha on 15 Sept. 2010
Format: DVD
For many years, Tom Jones was my absolute favourite film. My views have mellowed and my tastes have changed somewhat, but I still enjoy seeing it every now and then. It's like an old friend. Although, I will admit, it is one of those films that viewers either love or hate.

Even though the story is set in the England of the early 1700s, the film is solidly a reflection of the 1960s. It was extremely popular when it came out - winning the Oscar as best film. Audiences were overwhelmed by its bawdy humour, sinning and sinful characters, and endless camera trickery - all briskly paced and accompanied by a rollicking musical score. Director Tony Richardson threw everything into the mix - speeded up film, freeze frames, screen wipes, character asides to the audience, a lip-smacking narrator, even a silent movie opening sequence. The characters looked like real people instead of actors - the costumes and settings actually looked lived in. John Osborne's script contained dialogue with a proper period flavour (too much so occasionally) and the whole thing was photographed with a subdued, grainy quality not unlike an old painting. In fact, Tom Jones is almost two films in one - the first part rustic, earthy and halcyon on the sprawling estates of Squires Western and Allworthy, then an abrupt change of style to the intimidating Hogarthian squalour of London where danger seemed to lurk behind every corner. Newgate Gaol and a public hanging are uncompromisingly realistic for what is, after all, basically a comedy.

Most memorable of all are the performances. Albert Finney as Tom and pert Susannah York as his one true love are suitably attractive and talented. But the real flavour of the feast is provided by one of the most incredible supporting casts ever assembled for such a film.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsThis was when the Brits knew how to do it!
By H. Hopkins on 18 July 2008
Format: DVD
As one of the greatest British films ever made, Tony Richardson's adaptation of Henry Fielding's classic Tom Jones is long overdue for a full and proper restoration. Shortly before his tragic death from AIDS in 1991, Richardson presided over a personal restoration which included a brand new stereo soundtrack. However, this appeared to be the only real improvement, as the film itself remained the brutally cut TV version that had been around for years. In contrast, MGM's current DVD release is easily the best print of this film available, and technically way in advance of previous video releases and TV airings. Beautifully bright, steady, and well defined with good colour saturation, this digital transfer is an absolute joy to watch, and as far as I can see completely uncut. Even the dodgy "day for night" scenes are shown well exposed, although these are the scenes that would ultimately benefit from restoration. John Addison's brilliant score sounds sharper and cleaner than ever, and the Dolby Digital mono soundtrack is wonderfully crisp and clear, with a stereo feel of sorts on the big music sections. The one small disappointment of this otherwise fine release is MGM's rather creative billing of the movie's aspect ratio being the original theatrical format of 1:66.1 - which here it definitely is not, although not too far removed to withstand blowing up on a widescreen TV. I've always wanted to see this movie in its full aspect ratio, and that together with the inclusion of Richardson's restored stereo soundtrack would have created a perfect release. Sadly, the director is no longer with us to deliver a commentary, but I do feel an additional commentary by stars Albert Finney or Susannah York, would have been an extra delight, and a valuable insight for film students and movie buffs.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsNot as ravishing as it was in 1963
By Trevor Willsmer HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWER on 27 Jun. 2009
Format: DVD
Tom Jones has suffered the fate of many a groundbreaking hit film: over the decades it's irreverant tone has been so widely imitated - indeed, almost become de rigeur for period comedies - that much of the novelty has worn off. At the time, Tony Richardson's approach, constantly breaking the fourth wall to confide in or wink to the audience, speeding up sequences and revelling in its own anarchy and bawdy innuendo was daring and innovative. Now it looks a bit like a Carry On film with a much better cast and a bigger budget. Still, the cast is good and, as befits what Albert Finney described as production company Woodfall's 'holiday movie' after a run of more serious kitchen-sink dramas, it's clear a good time is being had by all - it's just not as much fun for modern audiences as it must have been in 1963.

The only extra on MGM/UA's DVD is a trailer.

3.0 out of 5 starsVisually Stunning
By Grahame on 9 July 2011
Format: DVD
Tom Jones is a 1963 British comedy film and is an adaptation of Henry Fielding's classic novel The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1749), it stars a very young Albert Finney as the hero.

It was one of the most critically acclaimed and popular comedies of its time winning four Academy Awards. The film is notable for its unusual comic style that some people love and others hate.

The story sees an incorrigible ne'er-do-well, Tom's genuine love for his neighbor Squire Alworthy's daughter Sophie (Susannah York), take him to the heart of fashionable London society in a series of comedic wrong-turns and misunderstandings.

Here he becomes embroiled in the games of the jaded aristocrat Lady Bellaston played by the wonderful Joan Greenwood. Greenwood steals the show as the original Mrs. Robinson. I also love Diane Cilento as the good time girl Molly Seagrim.

Throughout the movie is paced with a modern sense of realism, there are moments of stunning visual beauty as well as comedy, the settings are very realistic, and the the musical score a perfect backdrop. The film has a great cast of British actors, but does appear dated now in it's style..
