Tom Jones brings a theatrical flair to Henry Fielding's canonical eighteenth-century novel, boisterously chronicling the misadventures of the foundling of the title (Albert Finney, in a career-defining turn), whose easy charm seems to lead him astray at every turn from his beloved, the wellborn Sophie Western (Susannah York). This spirited picaresque, evocatively shot in England's rambling countryside and featuring an extraordinary ensemble cast, went on to become a worldwide sensation, winning the Oscar for best picture on the way to securing its status as a classic of irreverent wit and playful cinematic expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecial Features and Technical Specs:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNEW 4K DIGITAL RESTORATIONS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eof the original theatrical version of the film and the 1989 director's cut, both supervised by director of photography Walter Lassally, with uncompressed monaural and stereo soundtracks on the Blu-ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW program on the film's cinematography featuring a conversation between Lassally and critic Peter Cowie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcerpt from a 1982 episode of The Dick Cavett Show featuring actor Albert Finney\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW interview with actor Vanessa Redgrave on director Tony Richardson, to whom she was married from 1962 to 1967\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW interview with film scholar Duncan Petrie on the movie's impact on British cinema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrated archival audio interview with composer John Addison on his Oscar-winning score for the film\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEW interview with the director's-cut editor, Robert Lambert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: An essay by scholar Neil Sinyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"CRITERION COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"BLU-RAY","offer_id":49001075671259,"sku":null,"price":42.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/6379\/4395\/files\/134693_front.jpg?v=1784742330","url":"https:\/\/baystvideo.com\/products\/tom-jones-1963-criterion","provider":"Bay Street Video","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
