An original Australian Daybill poster for the 1967 release of “Far from the Madding Crowd”

A British epic period drama film directed by John Schlesinger and starring Julie Christie, Alan Bates, Terence Stamp and Peter Finch. The screenplay was by Frederic Raphael adapted from Thomas Hardy's 1874 novel Far from the Madding Crowd.

It was Schlesinger's fourth film (and his third collaboration with Christie). Set in rural southwest England, it deals with themes of love, honour and betrayal, against a backdrop of the seemingly idyllic, but often harsh, realities of a farming community in Victorian England.

It describes the life and relationships of Bathsheba Everdene with her lonely neighbour William Boldwood, the faithful shepherd Gabriel Oak and the thriftless soldier Sergeant Troy.

"I shall do one thing in this life - one thing certain - that is, love you, and long for you, and keep wanting you till I die."
