banana123 Review of The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling

The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling (1997)

I liked this movie.

[3 March 2004]

I like this movie. I think all characters were played very well and Max Beesley was a charming and handsome Tom Jones. The story had me so captivated that I watched the whole series in one sitting. As with any movie that I really enjoy, I wished it would go on. My only complaint is that I don't think the sexuality had to be so blatant.

The costumes were beautiful, as were the sets.

It was interesting to watch how the poor lived and were treated. You don't experience this aspect in a Jane Austin story.

I can see why this story was so scandalous when first published. These are still bad people by today's standards!
