Very happy, this film seems to be a very ordinary nonsensical vulgar comedy today, but the ridicule of censorship, a lot of spoofs, and breaking the fourth wall from time to time have a pioneering character beyond the times, which is probably the reason why it was recognized by the Oscars one of them. In this way, the Oscars at the time were daring to be the first, but now they are more conservative and unattractive.

Rough, chaotic and noisy, but some comedic effects are not bad. The face-to-face eating scene is a classic, right?

Lawyer Dowling: [At the cemetery: immediately after the burial of Bridget Blifil] Sir, sometime before your mother died, she gave me a letter. Her instructions were to hand it over to Mr. Allworthy as she was buried.
Blifil: Hand it to me. I will give it to my uncle.
Lawyer Dowling: She expressly said into no hands but Mr. Allworthy's.
Blifil: Lawyer Dowling, if my uncle lives, he will need a new steward. I intend to recommend you.
Lawyer Dowling: You are most kind, sir.
[Hands the letter over to Blifil]

Squire Allworthy: [Mr. Allworthy, in his sickbed after his carriage accident has brought him to death's door, prepares to tell his will to assorted members of the household. Tom Jones weeps at his bedside] Do not grieve, my dear nephew. Do not grieve.
Tom Jones: Sir, you cannot die!
Squire Allworthy: Death comes to us all, Tom. I've asked you here to tell you my will. Nephew Blifil, I leave you heir to my whole estate, with three exceptions. To you my dear Tom, I have given an estate of 800 pounds a year, together with a thousand pounds in ready money. I am convinced, my boy, that you have much goodness, generosity and honor in your nature. If you will add prudence, and religion, to these, you must be happy. One thousand pounds I leave to you, Mr. Thwackum, and a like sum to you, Mr. Square, which I am convinced exceeds your desires as well as your wants.
