- 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.

"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"
