Tom Jones
Series: Leading the Charge: Woodfall Film Productions and the Revolution in '60s British Cinema [July 2007]
Director: Tony Richardson, Country: United Kingdom, Release: 1963, Runtime: 128

In 1962, after decades in which Hollywood invested little in the British film industry, United Artists co-produced three British projects: Dr. No, A Hard Day’s Night and Tom Jones. Not a bad slate. All went on to be worldwide sensations, and the multiple-Oscar® winner Tom Jones remains Richardson’s best-known and best-loved film, a cinematic landmark of the era.

A very free adaptation of Henry Fielding’s classic tale of a young man’s sexual misadventures and education in the ways of the world, the film was a far cry from the period films British cinema had churned out for decades. In keeping with the pattern set by earlier Woodfall productions, it married the techniques of the era’s New Waves with Richardson and John Osborne’s creation of shockingly contemporary characters. As the aggrieved innocent and bold adventurer Tom, Albert Finney is sensational.
