The classic tale of Tom Jones a boy who is adopted in childhood by the kindly Squire Allworthy adapted from the novel written by Henry Fielding. As a result he becomes a privileged gentleman but one with a roving eye. Soon an amorous indiscretion results in him being exiled from his home...
This is a double disc period drama - though it feels fresh and natural and there are laughs a plenty. Max Beesley really captures Tom as a handsome young man who can get away with mayhem and pulls it off with considerable charm. Brian Blessed is, as ever, a star turn. There are many of our finest actors in this version and although the book may seem impossible to imitiate on film, i feel this comes as close as it is possible to get to the nature of the book on film.
