Brawny all-American action pictures never stand much of a chance if they’re up against costume pieces featuring lots of British accents, and so the Academy went with the now-forgotten comedy Tom Jones.

They are nuts. Tom Jones is still one of the most spectacular films ever made. It made Albert Finney and instant star in his tour-de-force.

Speaking of Finney, he should have won an Oscar for "The Gathering Storm." He WAS Churchill.

One of my favorite British movies! Much better than the 12 years later Barry Lyndon, mocked in MAD magazine as “Borey Lyndon”.
