    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The problem from which the sheep were suffering when they broke out into the green field, is called "pasture bloat". They got into a field with immature legumes, such as alfalfa or clover. The food causes excessive gas production which inflates the sheeps' stomachs (rumen) and compresses their lungs so they can't breathe. Using a trocar to puncture the rumen and release the gas, as Gabriel did, is a lot messier than this film shows.
    • Goofs
      The Valentine's Day greeting card that Bathsheba sends to Mr. Boldwood is of a contemporary 1960s style.
    • Quotes
      • Gabriel Oak: At home by the fire, whenever I look up, there you will be. And whenever you look up, there I shall be.
    • Alternate versions
      For the UK version, a cockfight had to be deleted to comply with that country's laws on animal cruelty on film, as stated in the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937.
