Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (1967) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 21 Dec 1982
The leading men are successful. Alan Bates, in a change of pace, is the loyal shepherd. Terence Stamp is a suitably vile Sgt. Troy, and Peter Finch makes Boldwood strong and honorable in his love for Bathsheba.
Miss Christie, however, is too sweet and superficial, and so is the film.
