Director Tony Richardson (Tom Jones) returns with another adaptation of a Henry Fielding novel. This one, written in 1742, chronicles the rise of a young Joseph Andrews (Peter Firth of Equus), who ascends from mere servant to become the personal footman - and the fancy - of Lady Booby (Ann-Margret). He battles seductions, robberies and rogues while trying to remain faithful to his true love- an equally innocent servant girl. Meanwhile, Lady Booby carefully tries to conceal her humble origins and a couple of not-well-kept secrets.
