Nothing is more important to the comedy or the drama of Tom Jones than the discrepancy between what we know and what the characters know in any given situation, and our awareness of the extent to which a character is ignorant is always a determining factor in how we evaluate his or her action.

 Tom Jones - ReviewFocus
Henry Fielding's mid-18th century novel is adapted for the screen by the genius of a playwright John Osborne, and very creatively licensed for this famous film version, although much to it's advantage in portraying the sheer fun of this rude and bawdy tale (the recent comatose BBC version fell at the first fence by comparison).
Tom's lusty desire for Sophie dispatches the young buck on a rollercoaster chase across Georgian England in search of his true love, and finally to Newgate Prison and the Tyburn gallows, where in the nick of time he is saved by Squires Allworthy and Weston, and wins the hand of Susannah York's wonderfully luscious Sophie.
In fact, Tom Jones is almost two films in one - the first part rustic, earthy and halcyon on the sprawling estates of Squires Western and Allworthy, then an abrupt change of style to the intimidating Hogarthian squalour of London where danger seemed to lurk behind every corner.

Tom Jones, the novel generally considered Henry Fielding's masterpiece, richly lives up to the generic formula he earlier applied to Joseph Andrews: it is a fully developed “comic epic in prose”.

Jones' debut single was only mildly successful, but the follow-up, "It's Not Unusual," became a giant international hit, as well as Jones' signature tune.

 BBC News | Entertainment | CD Review: Tom Jones
Tom may have been dodging flying knickers for four decades now, but you would never know it listening to the voice - a torrent of pure sound which has lost none of its power and fluidity with the passing years.
Yet if Reload generally manages to bridge the generation gap and reinvent Jones as a cutting edge pop icon, there remains the occasional garish flicker in the voice to remind us of the other Tom Jones - equally at home in the casinos of Las Vegas.
Elsewhere Tom gets to flirt outrageously with Cerys on Baby It's Cold Outside, retire to the lounge with the Divine Comedy for a version of Portishead's All Mine, and perform with the cream of Bristol themselves on epic closing track Motherless Child.
