Synopsis

Based on Thomas Hardy's 19th century novel, Bathsheba Everdene (Julie Christie) is a willful, passionate girl who is never satisfied with anything less than a man's complete and helpless adoration. And she captures the lives and loves of three very different men: Gabriel Oak (Alan Bates), a sheep farmer who is captivated by her beauty and proposes marriage; William Boldwood (Peter Finch), a prosperous man in his early forties and a confirmed bachelor; and Sergeant Frank Troy (Terence Stamp), a handsome, reckless swordsman given to sudden fits of violence.

Critics' reviews

"The leading men are successful (...) Miss Christie, however, is too sweet and superficial, and so is the film"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"[Schlesinger] displays the best sense of Victorian time and place since David Lean in Great Expectations"

Time
"Julie Christie, Peter Finch, Terence Stamp and Alan Bates are variedly handsome and have their many effective moments, but there is little they can ultimately and lastingly do to overcome the basic banality of their characters"
