Tom Jones (1963) - 1 star

One Sentence Plot Summary: Lots of Britishly clever (but never funny), unlikely events in the life of a womanizing orphan.

Starring: Albert Finney, Susannah York, Hugh Griffith, Edith Evans, Diane Cilento, Joyce Redman

Best of: There is one funny scene where two lovers seductively eat chicken. Okay, maybe it's not that funny.

Worst of: The British comedy-of-errors genre really should have died with Shakespeare.

I would have liked it better if: it had a different script, cast, score and director.
