Bathsheba Everdine, a young woman of Victorian England, inherits a farm estate and is pursued by three potential suitors: Gabriel Oak, a sheep herder; William Boldwood, a wealthy older farmer, and Frank Troy, a young sergeant. Evenly-paced, sprawling and well-crafted romance, often overlooked or unfairly criticized. Received an Oscar nomination for Best Original Score.
