'''''Tom Jones''''' is an Academy Award-winning [[1963 in film|1963]] British [[comedy film]]. It is an adaptation of [[Henry Fielding]]'s classic novel ''[[The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling]]'' (1749), starring [[Albert Finney]] as the titular hero. It was one of the most critically acclaimed and popular comedies of its time.<ref>http://movies2.nytimes.com/gst/movies/movie.html?v_id=50295</ref> The film was directed by [[Tony Richardson]] and the [[screenplay]] was adapted by playwright [[John Osborne]]. The film is notable for its unusual comic style: the opening sequence is performed in the style of a [[silent movie]], and characters frequently break the [[fourth wall]] by looking directly into the camera and addressing the audience.


==Synopsis==
==Synopsis==
{{spoiler}}
Madame Emery and her daughter Geneviève (Deneuve) sell umbrellas at a boutique in [[Cherbourg]]. Geneviève is in love with Guy (Castelnuovo), an auto mechanic who cares for his great-aunt along with Madeleine (Ellen Farner), a young woman who obviously loves Guy. Subsequently, though, Guy must leave to fight in the [[Algerian War of Independence|Algerian War]]. Months later, Geneviève is pregnant and lovelorn. At her mother's insistence, she marries Roland Cassard (Marc Michel), a wealthy jeweller who is in love with Geneviève and who is willing to wed her despite the fact that she is bearing another man's child.


When Guy returns from Algeria, he learns that Geneviève has left Cherbourg and that the umbrella store has been sold to a new owner. He attempts to ease back into his old life, but has become rebellious due both to the war and to the loss of Geneviève. One day, Guy quits his job after an argument with his boss, and spends a night on the town drinking and with a prostitute named Jenny. When he returns to his apartment, Madeleine tells him tearfully that his great-aunt has died. Eventually, Madeleine helps Guy clean up his life and he eventually gets an education and is able to purchase an Esso gas station. He asks her to marry him, and she agrees happily.
The story begins with a silent-movie sequence during which the good Squire Allworthy returns home after a lengthy stay in London and discovers a baby in his bed. Thinking that his barber, Mr. Partridge, and one of his servants, Jenny Jones, have "birthed" the infant out of lust, the squire banishes them and chooses to raise little Tom Jones as if he were his own son.


The coda of the film, as it were, is set in December 1963, approximately five years after the preceding events. Guy is now managing the Esso station with his wife Madeleine and their son François. On Christmas Eve, Madeleine and François are going for a walk when a car pulls up to the station. Guy goes out to help when, unsurprisingly, it is Geneviève and her daughter (who is ostensibly Guy's child) Françoise.
Tom ([[Albert Finney]]) grows up to be a lively young man whose good looks and kind heart make him very popular with the opposite sex. However, he truly loves only one woman, the gentle Sophie Western ([[Susannah York]]), who returns his passion. Sadly, Tom is stigmatized as a [[Illegitimacy|bastard]] and cannot wed a young lady of her high station. Sophie, too, must hide her love while her aunt ([[Edith Evans]]) and her father, Squire Western ([[Hugh Griffith]]) try to force her to marry a more suitable man - a man whom she hates.


They go inside, at first shocked to see each other, and Geneviève explains this is the first time she has returned to Cherbourg since her marriage. After stilted and awkward conversation, during which Geneviève's car is being filled with gas, Geneviève asks Guy if he wants to see their daughter. He tells her that he thinks she can go now. After the most banal of goodbyes ('Is everything going okay?' 'Yes, it is') Geneviève drives off as we see Madeleine and François returning and Guy hugging his family.
This young man is Blifil ([[David Warner]], in his film debut), the son of the Squire's widowed sister Bridget (Rachel Kempson). Although he is of legitimate birth, he is an ill-natured fellow with plenty of hypocritical 'virtue' but none of Tom's warmth, honesty, or high spirits. When Bridget dies unexpectedly, Blifil intercepts a letter which his mother intended for her brother's eyes only. What this letter contains is not revealed until the end of the movie; however, after his mother's funeral, Blifil and his two tutors, Mr. Thwackum and Mr. Square, join forces to convince the squire that Tom is a villain. Allworthy ([[George Devine]]) gives Tom a small cash legacy and sorrowfully sends him out into the world to seek his fortune.


==Technical Details==
In his road-traveling odyssey, Tom is knocked unconscious while defending the good name of his beloved Sophie and robbed of his legacy. He also: flees from a jealous Irishman who falsely accuses him of having an affair with his wife; engages in deadly [[Swordsmanship|swordfights]]; meets his alleged father and his alleged mother; saves a certain Mrs. Waters from an evil Redcoat Officer; and later beds the same Mrs. Waters. In a celebrated scene, Tom and Mrs. Waters sit opposite each other in the dining room of the Upton Inn, wordlessly consuming an enormous meal while gazing lustfully at each other.


*Director: Jacques Demy
Meanwhile, Sophie runs away from home soon after Tom's banishment to escape the attentions of the loathed Blifil. After narrowly missing each other at the Upton Inn, Tom and Sophie arrive separately in London. There, Tom attracts the attention of Lady Bellaston ([[Joan Greenwood]]), a sensual gentlewoman over 40 years of age. She is rich, beautiful and unscrupulous. Eventually, Tom ends up at [[Tyburn, London|Tyburn Gaol]], facing a boisterous hanging crowd after two blackguardly agents of Blifil treacherously accuse him of robbery and attempted murder. Squire Western rescues him in the nick of time and conveys him to Squire Allworthy, where the audience finally learns the contents of the mysterious letter: Tom is not Jenny Jones's child, but Bridget's natural son and Allworthy's nephew. Furthermore, since Blifil knew this, concealed it, and tried to destroy his half-brother, he is now in disgrace and, one hopes, disinherited. Tom now has permission to court Sophie, and all ends well.

It is interesting to note that the current version of Les Parapluies de Cherbourg released on DVD is a completely renovated version of the original. The original rushes of the film were shot on Eastman stock which rapidly faded and became almost unusable. The various copies of the film doing the cinema circuit also gradually lost their quality and it seemed that the vivid colours and fantastic contrast of the original film had been lost, only to be engraved on the memories of those lucky enough to see it in the 1960s. Very fortunately, Demy realised the short shelf-life of the original rushes and made negative black and white copies of the original in the three colour bands. In the 1990s, Demy's wife headed a project to put these three black and white copies back together. The resulting film was an astonishing transformation - once again Demy's vision of a surreally bright Cherbourg was made available for the viewing public. Legrand assisted in the digital remastering of his score and finally produced an extremely high-quality version of the filmscore, considered by many to be a musical masterpiece.

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) is a musical film made in 1964. It was directed by Jacques Demy, and starred Catherine Deneuve and Nino Castelnuovo. The music was written by Michel Legrand.

The film is unusual in that all the dialogue is sung, even relatively unimportant lines.

Synopsis

Vorlage:Spoiler Madame Emery and her daughter Geneviève (Deneuve) sell umbrellas at a boutique in Cherbourg. Geneviève is in love with Guy (Castelnuovo), an auto mechanic who cares for his great-aunt along with Madeleine (Ellen Farner), a young woman who obviously loves Guy.

At her mother's insistence, she marries Roland Cassard (Marc Michel), a wealthy jeweller who is in love with Geneviève and who is willing to wed her despite the fact that she is bearing another man's child.

He attempts to ease back into his old life, but has become rebellious due both to the war and to the loss of Geneviève.

When he returns to his apartment, Madeleine tells him tearfully that his great-aunt has died.
