Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (1967) by Bosley Crowther for The New York Times — 16 Dec 2001
The environment is more impressive than the slow, mawkish drama it contains, and the peasants are more assertive and colorful than the main characters. Scenes of sheepherding, farm gatherings, harvest suppers and assemblies at markets and fairs are more energetic and entertaining than the bloodless confrontations of the principals.
