"Far From the Madding Crowd"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Beautiful Julie Christie stars with Alan Bates, Peter Finch, and Terrence Stamp in this superb 1967 adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel. Christie plays the part of a willful farm girl who inherits a working farm in "Hardy country". She is pursued by Bates, a wiped out shepherd she hires, Finch, a wealthy farmer neighbor, and Stamp, a soldier who is seduced away from his true love. Calamities and natural disasters abound (this is Hardy) and the film makers have tacked on a happy ending.
This is a beautiful shot wide screen film and why it is not on DVD is a mystery (my copy is on laserdisc).
