Tom Jones

Director: Tony Richardson

1963 / 129min / DCP

The movie that made York an international sensation and an icon of Swinging London, Richardson’s rollicking, bawdy adaptation of Henry Fielding’s 1749 novel gives the actress the plum role of the spirited Sophie, the one true love of Albert Finney’s eponymous foundling hero, who will go forth to seek his fortune by way of myriad bed-hopping misadventures. Winner of Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director, Score, and Adapted Screenplay, the last-named a winningly irreverent demolition job on the classic source novel courtesy John Osborne.
