Tom Jones (film)

Tom Jones is the 1963 film adaptation of Henry Fielding's novel, winning four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director. Set in the 18th century, it tells of the many adventures (mostly romantic) of handsome rogue Tom. One of the film's best known set pieces has Tom and the lusty Mrs. Waters gazing at each other while devouring a large meal.
