2.0 out of 5 starsFar From The Madding High Quality We're Used To...
By Stargazer on 4 Feb. 2008
Format: DVD
It bemuses me to read some of the opinions expressed on here from those who are willing (inexplixably) to ignore or overlook the poor transfer of this fim onto VHS and DVD.
Far From The Madding Crowd was an event when originally released in 1967.
We sat back in our theatre seats and watched an epic on widescreen that was both enchanting and mesmerising. Julie Christie was a major star back then and dominated the screen with her portrayal of the headstrong Bathsheba.
Peter Finch,one of finest character actors ever - played the obsessed wealthy landowner Boldrewood, Alan Bates playing the romantic lead Gabriel,in another rivetting, earthy performance, and Terrence Stamp as soldier Frank Troy also turned in a fine performance. .
Prunella Ransome was unforgetable as Fanny Robin, the woman doomed to die
in child birth. This role should have been the one to catapult her career to many leading roles, but puzzlingly, it didn't,although she did have a major role in televisions "A Horseman Riding By," some years later.
John Schlesinger was a great director who previously to directing Madding Crowd,had directed Julie Christie in Darling and Bates in Stan Barstows A Kind of Loving.
He followed on afterwards with Midnight Cowboy, and then again with Finch in the immortal Sunday,Bloody Sunday,co-starring Glenda Jackson.
Studio butchers removed 10 minutes from the finished film length of 165 minutes of "Far From the Madding Crowd," without any thought for story line continuity whatsoever.
The film quality itself cries out for a company like Criterion to get on board, restore it to its original beauty and picture quality and return the 10 minutes of film,cut from the original.
I have emailed Criterion in the past about Far From The Madding Crowd, and any like minded soul reading this should do the same - approach them or the film company to restore the picture and re-release it to us the put upon public in all its original splendour.

1.0 out of 5 starsSchlesinger must be turning in his grave!
By A Customer on 20 Oct. 2004
Format: DVD
At last! the long awaited DVD of John Schlesinger's 1967 cinematic masterpiece of Thomas Hardy's FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD. But don't throw your hats up too soon, discerning DVD buffs should avoid this dreadful quality package at all costs. I'm grudgingly prepared to accept the sad absence of ANY extras - even a trailer, but I have to say that this new release insults both it's valuable customers and the film itself, with extremely poor sound and the worst quality transfer I've seen in a long time. And it gets worse - Richard Rodney Bennett's towering emotional score is seriously depleted by a measly MONO soundtrack, and Nick Roeg's beautiful 2.35:1 Panavision photography is horrifyingly blown up to 16:9 full-screen aspect ratio immediately after the opening titles! This invalidates the sleeve-note claim to be the 2.35:1 version, and continues to rob the world from seeing the film on DVD in all it's widescreen glory. It also proves to be the short version, coming in at just under two hours, probably the TV cut, and certainly not the magnificent 3-hour plus version which I believe is available in widescreen on VHS in the US. In stark contrast, the other great Hardy film - Polanski's simultaneously released "TESS" comes in a fantastic value 2-disc restored special edition, packed with delicious extras, so this sub-standard MADDING CROWD fare is all the more difficult to take. John Schlesinger's masterpiece was photographed in Super-70mm Widescreen Panavision by Nicolas Roeg, one of the greatest cinematographers of our time, and performed by a rare ensemble of legendary players from Frederic Raphael's sumptuous screenplay. So will the studio please believe that this is the version we yearn to see again - and nothing less!Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsI would give this 5 stars but for one small problem.........
By Bristol Film Buff on 23 Nov. 2004
Format: DVD
Okay, all the good news first: yes, this IS the John Schlesinger-directed version of Thomas Hardy's classic novel, finally getting the long-overdue DVD release it so richly deserves. Everything about this film smacks of class. I cannot fault the perfomances; Julie Christie is gorgeous as always, and Peter Finch, Terence Stamp & Alan Bates will always make the ladies swoon. The production values are all first-class as well with stunning recreation of time and place. The music by Richard Rodney Bennett expertly teases our emotions in all the rights places, and Schlesinger's vivid direction should have won an Oscar.
Now the bad news (VERY BAD): the DVD transfer and presentation is an absolute travesty, up there with Zulu Dawn & the British releases of El Cid and The Fall of the Roman Empire as the worst to date. Nicolas Roeg's beautiful 2.35:1 Panavision photography (one of the main reasons I bought this) has been severely cropped to 1.78:1 after the opening credits (the back cover of course does not mention this fact, merely stating incorrectly that its "2.35:1 Widescreen"), and there is a lot of print damage that at times makes certain scenes distracting to watch. We are also treated to a tinny-sounding mono soundtrack that does the film no justice whatsoever. There are no extras, which begs the questions where are the documentaries and commentaries etc (Stamp & Christie are still around)?? Your guess is as good as mine.
I hope that the-powers-that-be see fit to re-release this film properly, nicely restored with at least one or two extras, and in its correct Panavision ratio all the way through! Until then, I recommend saving your money and waiting for it to either (a) get a fine re-release or (b) show up on TV instead.
