Plot[edit]
Set in the rural West Country in VictorianEngland, the story features Bathsheba Everdene (Julie Christie), a beautiful, headstrong, independently-minded woman who inherits her uncle's farm and decides to manage it herself. This engenders some disapproval from the local farming community. She employs a former neighbour, Gabriel Oak (Alan Bates), as a shepherd; rejected by her earlier as a suitor, Gabriel lost his own flock after one of his dogs drove them off a steep cliff.
Bathsheba impulsively sends a valentine to William Boldwood (Peter Finch), a nearby gentleman farmer. Pci simple communications controller driver windows 7 hp 450 g3 driver. Misinterpreting her capriciousness, he falls passionately in love with her and proposes; Bathsheba promises to consider his offer. However, she soon meets and becomes enamoured of Frank Troy (Terence Stamp), a dashing cavalry sergeant.
Troy was to marry young Fanny Robin (Prunella Ransome), a maidservant pregnant with his child, but she went to the wrong church on their wedding day; Troy, unreasonably insulted and humiliated, refuses to go through with the ceremony. He was then posted to a different town. Bathsheba marries Troy but soon regrets her impulsive decision. Troy gambles away much of Bathsheba's money and creates disharmony among the farmhands. He is filled with remorse upon learning that Fanny has died in childbirth and swears he never loved Bathsheba. He leaves her and his clothes are later found by the ocean where he has presumably drowned.
Boldwood coerces Bathsheba to marry him once Troy is declared legally dead. However, the sergeant reappears at their engagement party to reclaim his wife; Boldwood shoots and kills him.
Boldwood is last seen in a prison cell, awaiting execution. Gabriel tells Bathsheba that he is emigrating to America. Realising how much she needs his quiet strength and unselfish devotion, Bathsheba persuades Gabriel to remain in Weatherbury, and they marry.
Cast[edit]
Production[edit]
The film keeps close to the book.
The budget was $3 million, 80% of which was provided by MGM, 20% by Anglo-Amalgamated.[4]
The film was shot largely on location in Dorset and Wiltshire[5].
Reception[edit]
The film is memorable for the subtly erotic scene between Sgt. Troy and Bathsheba in which he flaunts his expert skills as a swordsman in a private fencing display in a prehistoric earthwork (actually Maiden Castle). An enthralled Bathsheba stands immobile before him.
Roger Ebert found the scenes of the rural area and rural life to be 'splendid'. His strongest criticism is that the film missed the point of the small society of rural life:
Thomas Hardy's novel told of a 19th century rural England in which class distinctions and unyielding social codes surrounded his characters. They were far from the madding crowd whether they liked it or not, and got tangled in each other's problems because there was nowhere else to turn. It's not simply that Bathsheba (Julie Christie) was courted by the three men in her life, but that she was courted by ALL three men in her life.[6]
The film performed well at the box office in the UK but was a commercial failure in the US.[2] Download torrent inazuma eleven pc game.
Far from the Madding Crowd received mixed to positive reviews from critics, as the film holds a 72% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 25 reviews.[7]

Asked who she would have chosen if she had these three very different suitors in real life, Carey Mulligan chuckled as she quickly replied, 'I probably would have gone for the guy with the baby lamb (Gabriel) in the first 20 minutes of the film.'

The scene where Bathsheba tries to impress Gabriel and his friends by wading in to a sheep bath with them and the animals had little Hollywood glamour to it. Carey Mulligan said: 'That was so much fun, although slightly disgusting by the end of the day. The sheep were doing their business in the water. The boys whinged constantly but they were wearing wetsuits under their costumes - I was wearing no wetsuit, so I was basically swimming in sheep s*** all day, which was a joy.'

Thomas Hardy took the book's title from a line in Thomas Gray's 1751 poem 'Elegy written in a Country Churchyard': 'Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, / Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray; / Along the cool sequester'd vale of life / They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.'

This marks as the 5th film adaptation of Thomas Hardy's novel. The very first film version was the silent film Far from the Madding Crowd (1915) released exactly 100 years before this updated version. (There's a 1909 film with same title but that film isn't based on Hardy's work - it's a Thomas A. Edison comedy).

The health and safety team on the film were concerned about the cast filming with sheep, but let Carey Mulligan ride a horse and she had a concussion after coming off. When she and Matthias Schoenaerts shot the last scene of the film, she came racing round the corner and got thrown off and landed on her head. Ten minutes later, they were filming the big declaration scene and she just dropped to her knees. Schoenaerts thought she was acting and just carried on, and then she slumped over. Mulligan told that she was genuinely concussed for about six weeks of the filming and there are parts that she doesn't remember.
