"Tess" IS out on DVD and I am awaiting my copy. I like them both. Have yopu seen "The Claim", which is based on Hardy's "The Mayor of Casterbridge"?

It's pretty Good. They moved the venue to the California mountains but the story is essentially the same.
I thought it was a pretty good adaptation and I liked the movie. I was surprised by how well it worked set in the American west.Far From The Madding Crowd was on TCM this year. I meant to record it but the machine is kaput.
At the time it came out, I had a huge crush on Alan Bates. I think it holds up pretty well, although I'd have to see Tess again to say which is the better film.
My "Tess" DVD arrived this morning so I will be seeing it tonight. I have had a pan and scan laserdisc of this for years but cannot bear to watch it as it's not only panned and scanned but a poor transfer to boot.
