We would love to see how the director tried to fit in eight hundred pages of plot into seven reels of silent film. Sadly, we doubt we'll ever see this rare early film adaptation of Tom Jones.

This movie is still by far the most popular film of Tom Jones, even though it's almost fifty years old. We like it especially because the dad from Mary Poppins plays Partridge.

This 1976 production of the novel is clearly trying to make money off its reputation for sexual content, what with the insertion of the word "Bawdy" into the title. We're guessing it doesn't stick too close to the philosophical parts of the source material.

Wow, movie previews used to be a lot slower than they are these days.

Multiple digital formats available for your listening pleasure.
