"At home by the fire, whenever I look up, there you will be. And whenever you look up, there I shall be."
Alan Bates as Gabriel Oak in Far From the Madding Crowd (1967).
I love this film, based on Thomas Hardy's novel. It stars the ruggedly handsome Alan Bates as Farmer Oak, Peter Finch and Terence Stamp, and the radiant Julie Christie as the exasperating and beautiful Bathsheba Everdene. I loved her in Hamlet (1996). In the scene after Ophelia has been discovered drowned, she was magical. As for Far From the Madding Crowd, she was worthily cast as the object of desire for the three supporting male characters.
