2.0 out of 5 stars The Film that Inspired Clinton!, February 29, 2004

This review is from: The Bawdy Adventures of Tom Jones [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Oh sweet mystery of life revealed! I have often wondered what spawned Bill Clinton's formidable libido, and THE BAWDY ADVENTURES OF TOM JONES must be it!

Featuring a story about a gentle, good-natured young lad who can't help it that he's the rowdy object of carnal desires of a stable full of 18th Century buxom beauties, I quickly zoomed in on the comparisons. Young Tom enjoys the pleasures of the flesh, yet steadfastly maintains his innocence and his constant devotion to his true love. Hmmm, haven't we heard that one before? And when a lustful young lass literally throws herself at one's feet, what's a politician, er, a dashing young man to do?

One can only imagine the inspiration ignited by this film's countless romps and trysts and enthusiastic rolls in the hay. If ever there was a film that pronounced one could indeed have one's cake and eat it, too (pun intended), this is it. And no doubt the statures of screen veterans such as Trevor Howard, Joan Collins, and Terry-Thomas enhanced this movie's credibility--much like an acquittal from the U.S. Senate. And sporting an absolutely nauseating musical score, THE BAWDY ADVENTURES OF TOM JONES also brings to mind Bill Clinton's brother, Roger. Yet another example of noble inspiration!
