Plot

Lady Booby alias 'Belle', the lively wife of the fat landed squire Sir Thomas Booby, has a lusty eye on the attractive, intelligent villager Joseph Andrews, a Latin pupil and protégé of parson Adams, and makes him their footman.

Sinekatalog’s take

A bawdy period romp, loosely comic, in which a handsome young servant attracts his employer's wife. Boisterous and costume-rich, but more scattershot than witty. For fans of rowdy literary adaptations.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
