In Victorian England, the independent and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene attracts three very different suitors: Gabriel Oak, a hardworking young sheep farmer; Frank Troy, a handsome and reckless Sergeant; and William Boldwood, a prosperous and mature bachelor. From TMDB

60 of 90 · most liked firstHappy birthday, Julie Christie! Here on the set of a movie I like a lot, FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD (1967). Christie looks rather pensive, but the lamb looks like it's having the best day of its woolly little life. More on Christie at my IG: www.instagram.com/p/DIbmwnCu2ve/
positive · AI labelView post →Just remembering (it's one of my earliest cinematic memories b/c the film was long a favourite of our mum's) the sequence in John Schlesinger's Far From the Madding Crowd in which Sergeant Troy "reports for sword exercise." Astonishing! RIP Terence Stamp.
positive · AI labelView post →People want to know my most-wanted lost film. Well, Turner’s FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD tops my list. I want to see it! Did she do straight drama or did she lean into the exploding fart sheep scene? Because several versions have played that scene straight and I don’t know how they did it.

positive · AI labelView post →We were saddened to hear of the death of Terence Stamp, one of the most charismatic faces in #British #cinema. Here's his great West Country moment as Sergeant Troy demonstrating his swordplay in a pressbook we hold of 'Far From the Madding Crowd' #TerenceStamp #FarFromTheMaddingCrowd #Filmsky #film

Below, Julie Christie in a 1967 film adaptation. Hardy's work is frequently and variously adapted, but start with the.novels. #booksky #moviesky #writers #film

neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Terence Stamp. His Sergeant Troy in the 1967 John Schlesinger directed film adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s “Far From The Madding Crowd” was a significant influence on me as a kid. But his performance in The Hit (1984) remains a fave. This scene particularly poignant. youtu.be/Tl7ejODI2xM?...

This movie adaptation of Far From the Madding Crowd (2015) is one of my fav films ever. #drawing #colourpencils #farfromthemaddingcrowd #art
positive · AI labelView post →I've been looking at a batch of old book covers by prolific book designer sisters Barbara and Eileen Walton, and knowing that Barbara sometimes used photos and movie posters as references - this is definitely Julie Christie, yes? Far From The Madding Crowd?

neutral · AI labelView post →Of books I've completed, Thomas Hardy's The Mayor of Casterbridge. Read it at school, hated it (as well as Far from the Madding Crowd and Tess of the D'Urbervilles) - full of ridiculous coincidences. And also utterly miserable to boot. I started reading The Da Vinci Code, but gave up after the very first page.
negative · AI labelView post →Born OTD 100 years ago, British film director John Schlesinger (d 2003) whose resume included such great films as Billy Liar (Julie Christie's breakout role), Far from the Madding Crowd (Christie again), Sunday Bloody Sunday, Marathon Man, and Midnight Cowboy.

neutral · AI labelView post →Same! Love all le Carre but Smiley and the Karla series are his best. Read them multiple times. Even love the recent movie, despite flaws. Bathsheba is fiction inspired too - from my favorite author: Thomas Hardy, in Far From the Madding Crowd. If I had a burner account it would be Gabriel Oak.
positive · AI labelView post →I’d let them include Far From the Madding Crowd - as a teen in the UK, obsessed with Hardy’s novels, this film was my 1st introduction to Stamp. But the rest….

So many stand out roles, but for me perhaps the most memorable was Troy in “Far From the Madding Crowd” and of course General Zod in the second Christopher Reeve “Superman” film. variety.com/2025/film/ne... #RIPTerenceStamp

neutral · AI labelView post →I think eyebrows are a gr8 way of dating film & tv historical dramas. Compare Julie Christie’s quite wispy ones in 1967 Far from the Madding Crowd & today’s rather micro bladed look. Would love to know if anyone has researched this. A visual quiz would be fun… Date that Film - using only eyebrows

unlabelledView post →The film was made in 1967, which was before I was born. But studying ‘Far From The Madding Crowd’ for O-level English Literature meant that I saw the film many times over. Who can forget the excitement of the big trolley with the TV and video player being wheeled into the classroom?
unlabelledView post →I will always remember him as Sergeant Frank Troy, in Far From The Madding Crowd. It was one of my set texts for English Literature O-level. Having just googled it I see the film was made in 1967. I did my O-levels in 1985! 😱😂
