{"product_id":"tom-jones-the-criterion-collection-dvd","title":"Tom Jones (The Criterion Collection) [DVD]","description":"In the early 1960s, at the height of the British New Wave, a movement whose gritty realism they had helped establish, director Tony Richardson and playwright John Osborne set out for more fanciful narrative territory. 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.\n\nTWO-DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\n- New 4K digital restorations of the original theatrical version of the film and the 1989 director s cut, both supervised by director of photography Walter Lassally\n- New program on the film s cinematography featuring a conversation between Lassally and critic Peter Cowie\n- Excerpt from a 1982 episode of The Dick Cavett Show featuring actor Albert Finney\n- New interview with actor Vanessa Redgrave on director Tony Richardson, to whom she was married from 1962 to 1967\n- New interview with film scholar Duncan Petrie on the movie s impact on British cinema\n- Illustrated archival audio interview with composer John Addison on his Oscar-winning score for the film\n- New interview with the director s-cut editor, Robert Lambert\n- PLUS: An essay by scholar Neil Sinyard\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B077HP62Q7\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B077HP62Q7.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Albert Finney|Susannah York|Tony Richardson\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
