Product Description:
A BBC adaptation of Henry Fielding's masterpiece. A young man of questionable birth is raised as the son of a member of the minor gentry, only to fall prey to the cruelties of his malicious cousin and the wiles of the neighboring heiress.
Amazon.com:
"It is not enough that your actions are good. You must take care that they appear so." This is one lesson that plucky orphan Tom Jones (Max Beesley, a dead ringer for Ewan McGregor) never learns, charging through life with his chin up and his libido unchecked. With tongue firmly in cheek, narrator Henry Fielding (John Sessions) walks us through this randy satire like a tour guide, proffering introductions and amusing observations as he tours the drama. Beesley is all charm and earthy sincerity as handsome Tom, with Samantha Morton a determined, elegant, and deliciously funny Sophia and red-faced Brit stalwart Brian Blessed (Black Adder) as her blustery, bellowing pater. Comparisons to Tony Richardson's hearty interpretation are inevitable: this 1997 miniseries favors dry wit and understated asides to Richardson's knockabout comedy and high energy, and it's a delight from start to its improbably (and delightfully) contrived conclusion. --Sean Axmaker

Disgusting movie that leaves nothing to the imagination. Sex scene after sex scene is all through this movie. It is degrading and gross. The only good thing about this movie was Tom's attidude outside of the bedroom. I can't recommend this movie to anyone.

I really have to place this production of a very human work of comic delight at the top of my list. Gilbert and Sullivan's Sorcerer is a companion to it and so is Iolanthe. I now know why my dear father told me to read Tom Jones when I was a teenager long ago (he also worshiped Iolanthe). I found it too stilted and of the age it was written. Now I see that it was not that it had lessons of life but that it was so much fun when you know life well (i.e. youth will not understand how funny it is)! ... Read More

This movie is just plain terrible and incredibly BORING! Don't waste your time with it.

I was more than incredibly disappointed with this film. Disgusted is a better word for to describe my feelings. While illegitimate children, love affairs and intimacy can be shown and talked of in a tasteful manner - this film did it most untastefully. It was full of explicit language and sexual content not to mention nudity and baseness. If it were given a formal rating according to the current ratings, it would definately be 'R'. It is a far cry from, "Pride and Prejudice", "Wives and Daughters" ... Read More

I think that "Tom Jones" is my favorite movie. I must have seen the Albert Finney version (at least) a hundred times. I thought that it was impossible to improve on this wonderful movie. BUT I LIKE THIS VERSION EVEN MORE! Max Beesley is as good a Tom as Finney. I loved Susannah York, but Samantha Morton is even more endearing. The one character from the original movie who cannot be improved upon: Hugh Griffith! He is amazingly funny as Squire Western in the 1963 version. The A&E version is much ... Read More
