Tom Jones
Plot: Winner of four Academy Awards including best picture, director, screenplay, and music, this 1963 adaptation of Henry Fielding's classic novel is a rousing, bawdy comedy about a young man's ribald adventures in 18th-century England. Albert Finney is splendidly hilarious in the title role of a charming womanizer who was discovered as an abandoned infant in the bed of Squire Allworthy, a wealthy landowner who named the child Tom Jones and raised him as his own. As a young man, Tom yearns for the comely daughter (Susannah York) of a neighboring squire, but his amorous adventures (including an extended food orgy that becomes the film's funniest scene) lead him to London and to a duel with a jealous husband. He's sentenced to hang, but fate intervenes. A hit around the world, the film was expertly written by noted playwright John Osborne, and Richardson uses a variety of old-style movie techniques to heighten the lusty, good-natured fun. Don't miss this one! --Jeff Shannon


The reason I bring this movie up is because it has a scene of a dinner orgy that is not to be missed. Years before 9 1/2 Hours, this film used food as the ultimate sex object as has never been seen before it's time. It explains how food may have been used as as sexual expression in the days before TV, radio, video games and all the other intrusive entertainment we have. Our forefathers had perfected the art of innuendo! This one scene in the movie will display this but to the extreme. Still it shows our forefathers had fun with their food and I think we should too!
