i see again now, why this enchanted me many years ago when it was new, and why it remains near the to of my "fifty favorites" list. This caused me to read Hardy, among others, and to try to see anything with Julie Christie in it.Many great, gorgeous films have caused us to properly Read. Wonderful to have access to this beauty again.
I bought an unopened 2-VHS box set of this 1967 film for $1 from a thrift store about 15 years ago. It was great watching in clear definition because the scenery is so good in this movie.
Good plots and well written material deserve any number of interpretations. It's kind of childish to imply no one should bring his/her own vision to an adaptation. If you don't like the idea of a remake no one is forcing you to watch it.

I have always adored Gabriel Oak. Would that we all had a Gabriel Oak who would wait for us to finish being a jerk only to settle down in the end! 💖 I was in love with Terrence Stamp from Billy Budd. His role as Frank Troy cured me of that by and by. The music transforms me back to the innocent 1960's when I was a teenager. ✨😍
The innocent 1960s? Hardly: Vietnam; the assassinations of JFK, MLK, Jr., RFK; the huge US illicit drugs market takes hold; coup d’états in Latin America, Mid-East, Africa; First World colonialism still thriving; much, much more violence, economic chaos, racism, bigotry. But yes, grateful for the arts.
@@cuzuvmcvoy Yeah, it's totally VHS. You can see all the tracking. I grew up with lots of recordings on VHS tapes from UK TV and my mum still has them. :)
Why would anyone do a re-make of this ? There’s no way to compete with anything about this movie. Not going to be able to top the gorgeous looks of Julie Christie and Terrence Stamp. It’s not humanly possible. There’s NOTHING that can be improved about this original masterpiece.
Maybe I’ll check out the 1998 version but then I think “why”. They can’t improve on perfection. Maybe I’ll just look at it as a different movie and not a remake.
Well, you certainly are "Super" supermario, for uploading this, and taking the commercials out to boot! Thank your grandmother for me 🌹 34:10 aww, we used to sing this old hymn in church! Can't recall the title of it, but I remember the "aa-aa-aaaa-aa halle-lu-jah". Brings back warm memories.
I remember it well, but affection too the more recent film. I wouldn’t call it a remake since they are so different. It doesn’t pretend to take the place of this one, so I am just interested... an interest which pays off in the end, I think.
@@mckavitt13 I'll call it a remake from lack of interest. I took a glance at the casting and it seems none of them read the book. Bathsheba has to be a beauty for the story to make any sense. Gabriel cannot be eye candy. The remake has it backwards with a plain Bathsheba and a pretty boy Gabriel. Troy has to be a dangerous dashing soldier, the type to make a foolish girl's heart flutter, but they cast a pipsqueak that looks like he needs a decent meal. This 1967 film is cast to type and the acting is all top shelf.
@@valkyriesardo278 Carrie Mulligan is not a beauty by any stretch. She looked old and gaunt and plain imo. Compared to Julie Christie, it's a joke of casting.
oh dear oh dear me....could be a long business......that part always makes laugh........ i only wish it had been the knot of knots that does not untie.....i love that line
it's funny how British film from the 60s always sounds like British film from the 60s. Such a distinctive sound to the voices, whether it's a futuristic dystopia like A Clockwork Orange or Victorian England like this. Maybe it's the audio equipment or something...
My set book in "O" Level Cambridge examination 1984. Could narrate the story from A to Z. How time flies.English Literature was indescribable sweet by then.
It was good and a miniseries with more time to "flesh out" the story. I liked the first version best because Prunella Ransome as Fanny Robin seems more tragic than the novel's characterization.
I agree that the 1998 version was the best. I particularly liked the softness of Nathaniel Parker as Gabriel. And Paloma seemed more like the young girl that would be prone to making impulsive choices.
Speaking of 🦋 "The Collector"🦋, lucky thing, after all these years it's being streamed on Tubi now. I absolutely was mesmerized by it when it first came out and it's just as good now 👍😍❤️🦋🦋🦋
Only a web series, intended to treat all the minute delicacies in the book, can come close, if it can, to reproducing the exact feel. For a movie of 2.5 hrs, it was tolerable though.
Such a well-scripted, beautifully filmed, perfectly All Star cast, with "true to novel" character role performances throughout. Sad though that this film version copy is such a bad copy. For true film aficionados of Quality = ua-cam.com/video/3556B9odLBE/v-deo.html 👌
Yup, that silly remake just doesn't cut it - and the erotic sword scene - so straightforwardly (and therefore subtly) acted here by Christie and Stamp was turned into a laughable travesty.
I was sad they didn't have the fire/smoke incident in the 2015 version. That was so important to the storyline. Gabriel literally fell in love and worshipped her then as his saviour.
A beautiful set of actors, Alan Bates, Terrence Stamp, Julie Christie , and Peter Finch. She was lucky Ito have their love but would have picked sexy Alan a real maans man.
One man dead and the other behind bars just because a Lassie couldnt make her mind up from the very beginnig. Woman I fear only the pretty, and i think i am well advised.
A bit overdone to my taste, and Julia Roberts who does not fit at all. But liked attention to detail and amazing England, which I have always thought among the ugliest countries in the world. Masterly performance of Finch and Bates, also some secondary feminine roles. Overall, do not regret 2.5 hours watching awfull quality copy

Wonderful to have access to this beauty again.
Indeed, this is the best version of Hardy ever filmed. It deserved far more acclaim.
It was screened not all that long ago in a fully restored print in London I believe, where it finally got what it deserved. A standing ovation.
I bought an unopened 2-VHS box set of this 1967 film for $1 from a thrift store about 15 years ago. It was great watching in clear definition because the scenery is so good in this movie.
It is so beautiful in scenery and in the acting, emotions, and thought. It is one of my favoritevmovoes of one of my favorite books
Just re-read this wonderful novel. Movie is totally faithful to it. Love this movie!
You need to read it again.
We certainly don't need no stinking remakes of gorgeous films such as this. Who in their right mind really thought this could be improved upon?!

thank you from Australia, for loading this movie to youtube, it was marvelous to watch the original again ☺
Thank you for providing this beautifully done presentation. This is a treasure of a production.
Epic movie. Watched it so many times, I practically know it word for word. Thanks for sharing this.

Well directed and authentic scenery location
So happy to see this in its entirety. Thanks.
Oh my, this film version
is more exciting and
extensive than any

I love it! 🥰
Thanks for uploading!

Enjoy this immensely..thank you
Good work with the old VHS tape transfer. Thank you.
Wow!
Is that right?
From VHS?
Bless you for uploading!

@@cuzuvmcvoy yes.
By far the best version thank you!
Superb, thank you. Have watched this so many times and appreciate it more with each viewing. No remake could ever better this version.
Special mention for Richard Rodney Bennett's wonderful score, which draws us into the tale from the first note...
Agreed. A composer of such depth
Indeed-epic score!👌

There is a 1998 version that isn't halfbad, but the one with Carey Mulligan, ugh! They changed too much
Maybe I’ll check out the 1998 version but then I think “why”. They can’t improve on perfection. Maybe I’ll just look at it as a different movie and not a remake.
@@lilybond6485 it's a little longer, & Colin Firth's you get brother plays Frank Troy -cute
Younger brother
@cynthianolder5344: That’s what I figured you meant. I’m getting pretty good at interpreting typos.
This is wonderful. The old VHS resolution suits in a way.
The sword scene is ridiculous 😂. I love the 2015 version...
Thank you for this classic.
Thanks for uploading this classic❤️
No worries, thank my grandma for recording this on VHS off the telly back in the early 90s!
@@SuperMarioBros3NES hey say thanks to her on my behalf..❤️

Those poor, poor sheep...amid the madness.
I love so much old enghish movies. ❤❤ l whould to see others old enghish movies the same quality.
A beautiful picturisation of Hardy 's trumpet - rousing Tragic - Comedy
The best version! Alan Bates and Julie Christie! Movie legends!

the 2015 remake is a joke... this movie doesn't need any remakes... it's already prefect...
I struggled with the remake as well. Great visuals but far too short.
Agree. Didn't care for it at all
Can’t agree with you more. Absolutely epic!
I agree with you, most remakes are nothing but joke
Absolutely Perfectly Sublime this was 😚
Read the book. Saw the movie back then. Never forgot it.
Thanks for uploading 💭🤍
And one more thing - even Hardy's names are sexy...Gabriel Oak...Bathsheba Everdene...I mean, really!
Thank you!
Nice movie thanks.
To love deeply one has to be selfless and accept unconditionally 😊
Love Albert Finney, and Alan Bates.
I love Albert Finney too. But he's not in this movie Beverly.
WOW...now that was a Movie!
Julie Christie a ravishing beauty
The 1998 adaptation starring Paloma Baeza, Nathaniel Parker, Jonathan Firth and Nigel Terry was the very best in my opinion.
Ya Paloma Baeza really brought bathsheba to life
It was good and a miniseries with more time to "flesh out" the story. I liked the first version best because Prunella Ransome as Fanny Robin seems more tragic than the novel's characterization.
@@robynrodriguez6237I didn't see that other rendition. But I always did like Nigel Terry. I'd like to see it if for that.

A nice serious movie,I wanted to see a movie of Julie Christie.Thanks

Terence Stamp...so cool

IF THEY DO A REMAKE OF THIS MOVIE..THEY CAN PUT THERE ADVERTISING OF ADDS...
Nicholas Rogue served as the cinematographer.
Roeg, not “Rogue”.
The older version is better and much more true to the novel.
Only a web series, intended to treat all the minute delicacies in the book, can come close, if it can, to reproducing the exact feel. For a movie of 2.5 hrs, it was tolerable though.
Julie Crystie la più bella del mondo

This is a pretty good, at least noteworthy movie - but a terrible print, from videotape/ broadcast I’m guessing
Dave Swarbrick on fiddle about 1:25.
Les moutons jouent bien dans la scène de l'empoisonnement au trèfle...😅
Soldier they say A WOMAN running A FARM
I was hoping he wasn't going to hurt her swinging the sword around like that and I thought of what kung fu david carradine would have handled him.
How a woman ran started a efficient nation with only prayer faith.

Much closer to the book. That was nice but can do without all the overacting. thank you for the upload.
@Nick Xero Yes.
A bit overdone to my taste, and Julia Roberts who does not fit at all. But liked attention to detail and amazing England, which I have always thought among the ugliest countries in the world.

England an ugly country you must be blind or stupid..
Julia Roberts?
Julia Roberts is no Julie Cristie!
2015 film was mediocre at best in comparison.
At best!

Its off a vhs tape that was recorded in the 1980's. What do you expect? I can't believe the quality it has.
@Jarred Knox How would I know? Why ask me? :D
It seems fine to me geeeeeeez💜💛🧡💐.
Alternatively: thank you very much for this free upload.
In 1967 it was the best video quality, things improve over time so stop thinking everything is supposed to be perfect at the beginning.
