Title: Far From the Madding Crowd: Excellence in Film Making
Review: Of the two versions of Far From the Madding (1967 film version starring Julie Christie, Terence Stamp and Alan Bates) This version, starring Paloma Baeza and Nathaniel Parker is the best. The cast is absolutely wonderful, especially the handsome Nathaniel Parker. I use to say, they don't make them like they use to(movies)until I saw this literary adaptation. The acting is superb and the sceney is stunning. I love a good well told story and this one makes the marks, with nothing spared. Everything about this period piece is so well done that I felt like I went back in time. It was not just a movie, it was an experience!This movie ranks second to my all time favorite of the BBC productions, North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. In recent years I have become a huge fan of British literary film adaptations. No body does it like the Brits!By the way when I bought this film, it was only on VHS. Now you can get it on DVD.
