Tom Jones

1963 · TMDB 5.9

Directed by Tony Richardson

Tom loves Sophie and Sophie loves Tom. But Tom and Sophie are of differering classes. Can they find a way through the mayhem to be true to love?

Why it matters

Tony Richardson's bawdy adaptation of Fielding's novel, where Albert Finney's title character breaks the fourth wall with a knowing glance, and the film's narrator (Michael MacLiammoir) guides us through the picaresque plot with a mischievous wink.
