    This robust musical version of Henry Fielding’s bawdy 18th-century classic starred Nicky Henson in the title role as a good-natured young man who is adopted by a country squire but who must run away from home when he is set up by his jealous cousin who is in competition with him over a potential wife.

    Tom has numerous misadventures in boudoirs, fields, country estates and taverns, trying to maintain his devotion to true love in the face of his mishaps, setbacks and libidinous temptations.

    Joan Collins costars as notorious highwaywoman Black Bess. The character was created especially for the film and did not appear in Fielding’s original novel.
