ā¢ It took two nights to film the sequence in which Squire Western chases after Tom. The second night, Hugh Griffith managed to undo the wiring on his riding crop, and actually hit Albert Finney with it, drawing blood. In character, Finney turned on Griffith and said, "I can't abide to be whipped, Squire," then punched him in the face. Each stalked off the set, swearing never to work with the other again.
ā¢ Welsh singer Tom Jones (born Thomas John Woodward) chose his professional stage name from the title character/protagonist of this film.
ā¢ This was the last film that President John F. Kennedy saw during a stopover in Palm Beach, Florida, en route to Dallas, Texas (November 17, 1963).

Magnificent movie with four deserved Academy Award winner
a resplendent period treat enveloped with ample, lilting, euphonious selections, both aurally and visually
