Product description

Julie Christie stars in this adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 19th-century story of a woman's passion. Set in Victorian England, the film follows Bathsheba Everdene (Christie), a beautiful, independent woman who runs the farm she was left by her uncle. She becomes romantically involved with three very different men: handsome and wayward soldier Frank Troy (Terence Stamp); prosperous gentleman William Boldwood (Peter Finch); and ever-patient shepherd Gabriel Oak (Alan Bates).

What a great film bought this for my HubbyWe are arguing at the moment he said it's not the original I say it is. He has seen a remake of it with different actors and insists the remake is the real film he has the book and on the book is Julie Christi. If anyone reads this please read and confirm that Julie Christi was in the original I know she was. Great film

An absolute gem.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 February 2022

This film is lovingly crafted and perfectly cast. The feeling for authentic historical reference creates a rich backdrop to the story and the use of folk music adds a sweet pathos to the action. No one could do complete justice to Hardy's text which is full of gentle humorous asides, but the visual observation of the rural characters compensates for this.
A thoroughly satisfying film.

This production eclipsed by the later film. That said Terence Stamp Julia Christie Peter Finch and Alan Bates did well However this production was missing passion and sexuality

Far From The Madding Crowd [1967 ]Thanks to the previous reviewer for saving me some money. I hoped that they would take the opportunity to rectify their previous abysmal releases of this excellent production, but Studio Canal+ should be given a big minus for daring to turn out the same poor conversion of one of the leading films of the 60's. Presumably this was a cynically opportunistic re-release to coincide with the new TV version of Tess. When will someone release a widescreen, stereo, un-edited DVD of this? Until then, I'm out.

November 2010 and my question has been answered. However, the following is not a review of the same product as referred to above. This "Far From..." edition is NOT the Canal+ release, but a US import, Region 1, NTSC 2009 issue from Warner Home Video that Amazon has kindly made available to us. If you haven't got a player that is multi-region and NTSC compatible then it's worth getting hold of one to watch this new edition. It restores all the original features of the film, even the intermission (the last time I saw that was when it was first released in the cinema in 1967); it is widescreen, soundtrack remastered to Dolby 5.1, and while the image has been cleaned up, the original colours have thankfully not been over-intensified so the original atmosphere and mood is retained. Scenes and shots that had been cut out of the Canal+ version have been reinstated, such as the Harvest Festival service in the church, a fairly short but important sequence where Schlesinger gives us a telling overview of the characters and relationships at a key point in the story.

Okay, so all this may seem rather anal and nerdy, but the end result is that the excellent production, screenplay, directing, acting, music and cinematography all shine through to make watching this film again and again a great pleasure. Consign your older version to the dustbin (or recycle if possible) and get this one instead.

This film is a masterpiece - and this version is superb

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 October 2010

As I have been waiting a long time for a good copy of this film on DVD, I took the advice of a previous reviewer and ordered the US version. As I have a blu-ray player, I felt this would be OK. I am so glad I took the risk. It plays without problem. The picture quality is wonderful; the music is good and, as mentioned, you get the pre-film music and the intermission music. Wonderful.

I first saw this film at the cinema when it was first released and I was swept away then by the story-telling, the beautiful scenery, the great acting, the authenticity and, very importantly for me, it's faithful adherence to Hardy's novel. The casting is perfect. Julie Christie is marvellous as the headstrong Bathsheba (and it is fun spotting her changes of hairstyle and hair colour all the way through), Alan Bates is great as the dependable (but not boring) Farmer Oak, Peter Finch perfectly captures the lonely, tortured Mr Boldwood, and Terence Stamp! - well, when we were teenagers, he certainly set our hearts racing (like he did Bathsheba's) in that red soldiers'uniform.

For once, it is a film that complements the book; you could watch/read either first and not be disappointed or surprised by the other. Watching it again all these years later, it is still absolutely marvellous.

If you have a blu-ray or all-areas player, I would highly recommend this version. I would have it in my top 3 favourite films of all time. The book is good, too!

Original and best

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 8 January 2021

I've been going through a bit of a Thomas Hardy binge and decided to watch the 2015 remake. After about half an hour I gave up and re-watched this. I don't suppose there's anything wrong with Tom Sturridge , Matthias Schoenaets or Carey Mulligan but they're absolutely no match for Terence Stamp, Alan Bates and Julie Christie. I had such a crush on Terence Stamp in my teens (despite the fact that I was only two years old when this was made) and in this he is utterly devilish and devastating. It's so obvious that Bathesebas will end up with Gabriel but that doesn't matter, it's the journey that counts and with such beautiful scenery it's a journey I will happily take again and again
