comment |
The History of Tom Jones, A Foundling, also known as simply Tom Jones, is a classic picaresque novel by Henry Fielding, published in 1749, telling the adventures of the title protagonist, a deeply honorable Handsome Lech. It is full of social parody both subtle and ham-handed. It has been adapted as a film (1963), a TV series (1997), and in opera form.The 1963 film, titled simply Tom Jones, starred Albert Finney as Tom. It won four Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director for Tony Richardson, and Best Adapted Screenplay for John Osborne. Three of the actresses in the film got Best Supporting Actress nominations, but none of them won. The movie was also named the 51st best British film of all time by the British Film Institute.Not to be confused with Tom Jones the singer—in fact, Tom Jones the singer took his stage name from the film. |

Boisterous Bruiser: Squire Western is a classic example, and played by BRIAN BLESSED no less in the 1990s series. And then there's Hugh Griffith's performance in the film. |

comment |
Adaptation Distillation: Both the 1960s film and the 1990s miniseries are very faithful to the spirit of the novel and to its content to a fairly large extent (more so in the latter). The latter arguably improves on the book in its presentation of Sophia and its decision to pair Partridge and Mrs. Honour. |

Hollywood Atheist: Inverted with Square who basically chooses atheism as an excuse for wrongdoing (because, you know, atheists are immoral) and admittedly, he reforms at the end with a death bed conversion. On the other hand, he's still always more likable than the Holier Than Thou Thwackum and it's clear that he could have been a perfectly good person following his atheistic philosophy. |

Aside Comment: The 1963 film was one of the earliest movies for a character to directly address the audience. It actually happens several times. Mrs. Waters turns to the camera and narrates a crucial plot development near the end. In one scene, Tom finds that all his money had been stolen while he slept, and he shouts at the chambermaid, demanding to know if it was her who robbed him. Unsatisfied with her answers, he turns to the camera and shouts "DID YOU SEE HER?! DID YOU?!" |

The Grand Hunt: The local nobility go out on a massive deer-hunting expedition which comes off as gross and scary. See Gross-Up Close-Up below. |

Gross-Up Close-Up: A striking sequence in which the rich folk of this particular part of western England go out hunting a deer, in a large party on horseback, with a pack of hunting dogs. They come off like the Wehrmacht rampaging through Poland. The viewer is treated to closeups of a farmer's dead goose that the aristocrats trampled, closeups of spurs digging into horseflesh and gouging wounds, and a disturbing closeup to end the scene in which Squire Western displace the corpse of the deer, with its throat slit. |
